This has just brought back vivid memories of the person I used to work with where the one thing we had in common was actually a love of Star Trek. I still have no idea how he loves it so much given he apparently learned absolutely nothing from it, seemingly every belief and behaviour he held was something that would have Picard facepalming.
Yeah it's weird- so many commenters in /r/StarTrekMemes also seem to have taken no lessons (or the wrong lessons) from TNG, and at the same time accuse me of having done the same.
People and worldviews are totally inconsistent, even when two people watched the exact same thing religiously and can quote it back to you in context.
The entertainment industry is famous for it's lack of morals - why even consider taking any lesson from something they've produced? Role models, if needed, can be found somewhere else. I love star trek, have seen it all, etc. but it's purely entertainment for me.
