Hate for the new Trek and the Future of Trek

PLS, I do not know you from Adam, but it makes me very sad to think that you actually might believe that things like Love and Art are merely electrical impulses we "feel". For my part, I am going to hope and assume that You do not truly feel that way, and that you are conducting a Posting experiment, taking an extreme opposite position, to see if others can explain/put feelings into words.
Who is Adam? I do believe what I say. And what do you believe - concerning emotions.

Off topic, pretty far. This only originated from one thing a poster said. And it made a whole conversation. And it is okay, not "mkay". Thanks!
I see what you are saying - what I said about emotions was originally relevant but it is now a "shouting contest". Well actually, a contest of logic. But off topic (let the good times roll!).

How can a poster say an undergarment?
So idioms are out too?
What I believe is that if one truly believes in reducing feelings and emotions to a series of electrical impulses, then there is no life or experience or "being". No point to existence. No reason for much of anything. And that makes the electrical impulses firing right now that simulate "sadness" in my system, to make me "feel" sad.
You can google the expression, "I don't know you from Adam", if you want.

Hmmm...in my day, A thong was a beach footwear item.
Why not both?

So, this is something that I don't understand is why to people "hate" Abrams Trek so much? I mean, for all the garbage that all the Trek series get from TOS onward, I rarely see them labeled as "not Trek" like Abrams does. I mean, even I, at the height of my frustration with the prequel trilogy did not hate them or even pretend they didn't exist. It simply was, warts and all, regardless of my irritation.
Is it just me? I'm sure it's just me.
Again, who is Adam?
This is what I believe. I also believe that life has no single point. The only point of life is what we do with it.

You are correct. Myself and those I am debating with are covering issues best left to saints and philosophers- yet we still cover them. But you're right - this belongs in a separate thread. Perhaps I should create one in a "non-trek" area of the BBS.

A name used in an idiomatic phrase.
It was a misfired synapse.
It refers to the thought that Star Wars: The Force Awakens copies the plot points of Star Wars: A New Hope so closely that it could be considered a remake. Let's try to get those creative, associative, metaphorical, and humor-interpretive thinking synapses firing on all thrusters.
You wanted a VO about "cataloging gaseous anomalies", while the captain drinks out of a Starfleet regulation teacup?
I think that's a weird point of view. Like saying that if there's no God then we might as well kill ourselves. Life without the supernatural is still rich and worth living.
