star trek federation isnt strongly driven by money tho. its because of the replicators. their means of production :wow: soon it might be that way for us and 3d printing. the economy as we know it will have to change.

Yeah that was one of the most interesting parts of Star Trek. It seemed to draw heavily on Marx's vision, but without communism. The idea was that in the future, everyone's basic needs were taken care of, no matter who they were, and so there were no fights over resources and just no scarcity in general. Humanity had stopped using differences as an excuse for warfare, and so was united. Your entire life as a person was spent on self-enrichment and self-improvement, whatever that might entail, since you had no need to work for food or healthcare or saving up for your retirement or whatever.

Now this is some news worth talking about. I could give a Damn about a 5 billion light year mile galactic force, learn how to bend time as we know it. wouldn't it just be a manipulation of matter?

did you ever see that episode of TNG where they found some 20th century people in cryostasis? One of them was normal, the other was a skeevy drugger and boozer, and the last guy was on some PT Barnum robber baron shyt. He immediately wanted to know how his money was doing and start exploiting shyt left and right. They made him look like a complete demon :heh: Im surprised Mowgli watched Star Trek because its one of the most liberal shows to ever hit the mainstream, easily.

It'd be cool as fukk to see this come to life in our life time, and exploring space would be cool, but I'd love for it to be applied to our own planet. Our planet is massive and there is so so so so much of it none of us will ever see because of the time it takes to travel to these places, and the cost. Imagine being able to just warp from Florida all the way to Japan in mere seconds. Imagine being able to live where ever you want but be able to work where ever you want. could be a good or bad thing. It would eliminate the freight transportation industry and thousands of truckers and ship captains would be out of work

I have no political affiliation. I have my own beliefs. I dont care what government i live under as long as it isnt a government of Satan and i have piece of mind. That said, Star trek is a communist/socialist utopia.

That said i saw warf get handled numerous times. Obviously int he future, Brazillian Jiujitsu no longer exists and their head of security got hired with the skills of a man whos 36 year old white belt in a karate class. I think Warf was a tae bo hoe with a bird chest.

We need warp stations at home that warp up to warp stations at our friends house. Input a keycode with some sort of access permission attached our biometric info or something. Sadly, someone would probably end up taking the mark of the beast for such tech. Not me though.

This is pretty dope, but speaking in terms of relativity... how would this tech work and be feasible before we've figured out how to make force fields?

I mean, lets say youre warping through space at 100,000 miles per hour... just a little stationary space rock being in your trajectory will hit you will enough force to blow right through the entire shuttle.
