    They didn’t have everything figured out back then. For one, they bullied Spock for what we could only describe today as his neurodiversity.

        Yes but that doesn’t mean we should never look back and see how far we’ve come, just as we look forward and see how far we have to go.

        excuse me, i have a degree in bullshit. We have figured out everything. 1+1=2. The rest is left as an exercise for the reader.

      You should see the episode when a woman body swapped with Kirk, and how the Enterprise crew suspected something was wrong

        The one I always feel like I need to warn people about is the treatment of Rand in The Enemy Within. Particularly since that happens so early in the series.

      The message I got from McCoy was that humans got along because they found new people to be racist against instead of each other

      McCoy called Spock “green-blooded” on multiple occasions - and once a “hobgoblin”. And I would call the Vulcan penchant for logic a cultural trait, not neurodiversity.

      And there will be things that are being created today that’s considered progressive that in 20 years, will be considered as missing the mark.

      McCoy was racist as shit and would not only have been cashiered, he probably would have been charged for hate speech
