6 NOV 2024 · What is the purpose of a society? What even is a society - let alone one worth living in? What is needed to make it function?
In this episode, we discuss the varities of robotic "gods" scattered throughout Star Trek and the societies they dictate: if they're worth creating, and what that creation entails. We also explore how the Original Series has a unique approach to different societies compared with other Star Trek shows.
Cowboy Diplomacy indeed.
Spoilers for the Original Series.

21 MAR 2024 · What are the Borg? What is knowledge? What does it even mean to "know" something?
These are just a few of the questions explored in this episode which is primarily focused on the Borg and the Federation - two vastly different organizations that explore the universe very differently and with very different intentions. Why? And how does that reflect our understanding of things we believe we "know"?
