If you could live in the ST Universe rather than ours, would you?
- Thread starter AdmiralBruno
- Start date
Pros:
No poverty to worry about
No racism, sexism, homophobia, or any other isms
No religious strife or wars
You rarely get sick, long life
Technology advancements everywhere
Cons:
Humans seem to be culturally bland and rigid
No TV media or version of the internet
The dominant music seems to be classical or jazz
The main form of entertainment seems to watching plays
The drinks of choice are tea
Anyone in their right mind would choose the Trek universe.
But some of these cultural limitations makes you want to reconsider. Based on TNG, human society seems real boring. It seems like they let go of a lot of exciting things to obtain their utopia.
Funny but even if they had TV in the Trek universe, it would be probably boring by our standards anyway. Why would future humans want to watch stories about strife, scheming to get rich, sexual intrigue ect?
They've evolved beyond that!

I think the pros of the ST universe far outweigh the cons. So, yeah, I'd live there.
How do you know that Gillian Taylor adapted well? We've never heard of her again.
As long as 24th century human culture isn't as dull as it seems, I'm game.
I'd live in the Holodeck personally.
It's as if art development just came to a screeching halt sometime during the 21st century. Even much of the civilian wear seen in Enterprise is too contemporary.
I want to live on Reboot Trek's version of Earth. It's utterly amazing, I'm in love with it.
Nah. I'm good. If there's no such thing as drama or conflict amongst humans, how do we encourage each other to be better people? Forget the medical tech, the holodeck, the starships. That'd all be pretty cool, sure. But the idea of bettering ourselves just cuz is pretty flimsy. We'd get bored. And at that point, a civilization becomes stagnant and dies. No thank you.
Forget better people! How would we be entertained?!?
If I were transplanted into the 23rd/24th Century, one of the first things I would do (after they set me up with housing, which of course they would do) is search the house computer for a record of all video games of the 20th and 21st centuries....or rather, search all interactive entertainment as available... and have a time! 
Would I want to live in the 23rd or 24th century? Hmmm..... there are compelling pros and cons that have been presented.
No money? No problem.
Equality for all? Excellent.
Political Correctness? Shouldn't even be needed if the Federation is all about equality anyway.
Holodecks (24th Century)... let the games and adventures begin!

You'd get there and find out they were all destroyed during World War III.

As I said at the start of the thread. I don't know enough about the 24th Century to make an informed choice. Could be Earth and the other core worlds of the Federation are the gated communities of the Galaxy and once you get outside the "gates" things are different.
