There should be an indefinite moratorium on this research under the current regime. Way too much potential for abuse.

Does it address why she conceded the most suspicious election of my lifetime despite her opponent claiming it would be rigged for 2 entire years?

I am pretty sure my Mom have me a copy of Dare to Discipline when my kids were preschool age. I never actually considered reading it though.

I really appreciate commentors like yourself that add value to posts with clarifying details. Thank you!

You could probably name any race from Trek and justify them as Gorn food.

I don't see how any democratic government can force civilians to work if they're unwilling to do so. The word for that is slavery.

I thought that Enterprise. Except Riker is the participant.

I don't know any of the particulars but what if the union advised it's workers to only do the paid work? I don't see how they can be held to account for not doing unpaid work if they all refuse together.

Totally reasonable. I wish every electronic device would brick itself if it heard you talking shit about it. People are too rude to toasters.

The second half of season 2 is okay in my book. The space battle with Control in the denouement is pretty great, and I enjoyed the characters of Pike and Spock but I do find the whole Red Angel plot line to be convoluted. My biggest issue with the show altogether is that I think they focus on Stamets and Culver's relationship too much. I feel the same way about Adira and Grey later in the show. I know that Star Trek like to push boundaries with non traditional relationships, but I just didn't care about these characters or their relationships. It was usually during these scenes that I found my mind wandering. I've found Trill interesting since Dax in DS9, but it's like they forgot Adira even has Tul with her after a few references early on. How you make two characters that shared the same symbiote boring is beyond me.

I am doing a second pass through Discovery, even though it's not my favorite series. Watching season 4 right now. Last night was s4e5 The examples, where Deputy Secretary Errinwright from The Expanse shows up as a know-it-all scientist that rubs Stamets the wrong way.
