Trek am bad
Emily was telling me how she used Star Trek as an argument against genetic modification in a recent verbal match, and we realized that for the most part, Star Trek is just one long argument against technology. I mean, they obviously want us to get to a certain point, but then after that point pretty much every invention seems to cause a lot more trouble than it does solve problems.

That's true, Trek can be anti-progress. But then, it's got such a hard-on for utopianism. I just chalk up all these internal inconsistencies to the franchise's many creators. Roddenberry was all post-WWII utopian, Meyer was a retro and vaguely militaristic. Berman was all techno sleekness and so on.

Oh but we are. Oh, but we are...
I like how ordering a PhD over the phone is supposed to be "confidential."
If I were you guys, I'd be offended that this guy thought your lives needed "advancing."
Sounds like a message the place that previously paid me for sitting in a chair in front of a computer badmouthing professors would send out.
Totally confidential because they're licensed in a state other than where their offices are located.
