Possibly. The problem is that the founders decided to bake in armed revolt as a safe guard instead if, you know, reasonable solutions.

I thought the movie was exceedingly clever and is a shining example of how sometimes a message is more about what it doesn't say that what it does.

That being said, the movie is definitely a rorschach test and you will see what you are primed to believe reflected in it.

I haven't read more than a handful of books in the last decade; I'm sure it's because I got my reading fix on Reddit instead. I'm really curious how this will change in the future.

Yeah. I still go to reddit for those, since I don't have the time or energy to put into moderating anything, and/or don't want to talk to a void. Sucks, because I want those communities here to be active, but content creation is taxing.

I just treat most people like 16 year Olds and it tends to work out pretty well.

It's better Trek than most Trek, IMO. Had some cool adventures and raised some interesting on sometimes difficult questions about morality and how it's shaped by our societies.

I don't think this at all. It's a very dense movie, but I don't think it suffered for it, and if anything actually enhanced the message that a lot of social expectations are murky and arbitrary.

I'm planning on seeing it again.
