Casino in the void always had the vibe of a TOS script transplanted into TNG, the few episodes that I watched from TOS all had the same campiness and stage acting. I think that’s what makes it so terrible, it stands out like a sore thumb.

First seasons often get a bonus for me when judging a show, it all has to find together and that often needs some time. That’s why I gave Discovery three seasons to win me over, I really tried to like it.
It is the opinion. And to be honest I was really tired and it first started as a more topic related text and then evolved into this due to my sleep drunkenness. Strange how it sometimes goes. But I am sorry for the off topic posting.
I don’t have anything really against the topics in lots of modern Star Trek, and I like a lot of it. Lower Decks is great, I loved Prodigy and what I have seen of Strange new worlds was quite good too. Even some parts of Picard Season 1 and 2 was good (and it got so much better in S3).
What I can’t watch though is Discovery, this show is just, in my opinion, so bad written on so many levels. A waste of time and money in my eyes. I tried the first three seasons and stopped. I am happy for everyone who likes it, it is just not a show for me and that is fine.
But all of the new shows are so much worse than the old shows (TNG and newer, I am too young for TOS/TAS), by miles. Maybe it is nostalgia (I started watching TNG as a teenager) but I don’t think so. Sure it has it’s own cringe at times but for me the quality of the writing and storytelling is on a completely other level.
That is it for me. Music, like PC games and Movies/TV Shows, are my escape from reality and I don’t want to have that tainted and ruined by real world, politics or the like.
Ok, negativ interest rate sounds interesting and maybe doable. It is something I have to read more about, I see a few issues but have not enough information yet.
Adding money to a digital bank account is equal to printing money. You don’t have to physically print money to print money
Yes, but I did in the text that you answered too. By the law of inference your answer was about printing money too, because my whole text was about that printing money out of thin air will create inflation.
Taxes on pollution, carbon emissions etc. would raise the costs of living and would therefore mean that the UBI would need to be higher to accommodate for the higher costs. Which means that a huge part of these taxes would be payed in proxy by the government. Rendering it useless as a method to fund the UBI.
The costs for a UBI are just so enormous, and all on the shoulders of the working class, because those are the majority of tax payers.
If you have a million people, old, young, in between, and a working rate of 60% (because the other 40% are too old or too young or can’t/doesn’ t want to work) and pay everyone 1000$ as UBI. That would mean that a billion dollars has to be payed by 600.000 people, so every working citizen has to pay 1667$ to receive 1000$ in return. This means that working people don’t get a UBI because they have to pay more then they get.
And those 1667$ taxes would only be for the UBI, meaning that the taxes would be much higher to pay for all the other costs that the state has.
Beeing deficit doesn’t have to mean that they print money, they can be deficit by taking higher and higher loans. Which comes with it’s own problems.
Printing large amounts of money out of thin air is a great way to turn a valuable currency into worthless Monopoly® money via inflation. That is basic economics. There are lots of examples for that in history.
Debt is not a reliable money source, in the long run it is a huge money sink with payments and interests. So yes, the only money source for governments are taxes.
The biggest issue with UBI is that it will never work, the math just doesn’t add up.
Holodecks, Replicators and Transporters share huge parts of their technology. A holodeck is more or less just a clever combination of the other two, completed by lots of forcefields.
So I would take the Holodeck and reverse engineer the other two from that.
There is a much better novel adaptation/interpretation of the last episode of Enterprise named “The Good That Men Do”. I can only recommend reading that instead of watching the episode.
In German he is written with a z, “Luzifer”, and my tired German brain just took that instead of the correct English writing. Sorry for that! 🫣
Because angels are only gods army of mindless robots.
Satan/Lucifer is not the opposite of God but a opposing force to the creation and will of God. Lucifer is kind of the oldest teenager with a bad case of “I hate my creator” temper tantrum ever.
In that way Lucifer itself is already the antichrist, he is just missing a corporal manifestation on earth.
Well and Lucifer is, a lot like the named angels, Jesus and all the saints, a great loophole for monotheistic Christian religion around the first commandment.
edit notes: Corrected german written Luzifer to Lucifer
What if the AI used is called “love”?😉
Yes, he could teleport a copy of myself but I would still be dead then, my soul sipping tea with the interdimensional koala while watching my copy do all the stuff I no longer can.
