/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

But all cultures are equally progressed through time because as all humans share a common ancestor, so too all cultures must share a common ancestor.
I think what you're saying is that more egalitarian societies are more progressed through time. As though time inevitably leads to egalitarianism. It doesn't.
Would a technologically superior alien consider modern Canadian society to be more advanced than a more caste based, misogynistic patriarchy (like the roman empire)?
Maybe they would look at how we treated women and the poor/the enslaved and say we are culturally advanced compared to the Romans.
Maybe they would look at the number of animals that we kill for the pleasure of it (spectacle, and the taste of flesh) how do you think they would judge us vs the Romans? (The meat industry is about pleasure, not sustenance)
Maybe they would look at the way we leave the earth for future generations how do you think they would judge us vs the Romans?
Maybe they would be scandalized that we are willing to eat other life's DNA, can't humans see that it's cannibalism?
