hoping for star trek future-- although that means the next 40-50 years will be pretty terrible.
Bell Riots are coming this year. The Second American Civil War starts in 2026, which leads directly into WWIII.
From there, everything is pretty much terrible until warp drive is invented.
it's creepy how specific (and prophetic) the star trek writers were about our future. other than the Eugenics Wars not happening in the 90s, they've been pretty spot-on. let's just hope that they're right about April 5, 2063.
No eugenics wars in the 90s? The Bosnia-Serbian conflict??
The one predicted in Star Trek had to do with genetically engineered Superman, trying to take over the world. So a little bit different than that.
Classic Bosnian-Serbian conflict!!
The Bell Riots story line is by far my fave DS9 arc. There’s a really good Terry Pratchett book with roughly the same concept that is also my favorite of his books. It’s called Night Watch.
Well, it would be nice to think there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
How many lights do you see?
FOUR!
Three. I hope that isn't a train.
edit: I think it is a train.
🖖 <-- that light
