You're completely right, there is obviously no deeper meaning to presenting a character who is a mature adult yet requires structured classes in order to learn how human beings socialise.

Both are needed, corporations must be held account able and individuals need to make changes to how they live ... I don't believe either will actually happen, but that doesn't mean that the morality of choices over resource use suddenly get inverted just because of a bad case of nihilism.

Thank you for your beautifully worded reply.

Because the world is on fire, while the richest humans want to consume more. Your replies are typical of that mindset, you could hardly contain your consumerism while living in an area which in much of the world would be considered large and luxurious.

Ah, ok. You want to consume more, have more stuff, bigger and better and newer and faster.

Well, good luck with that if that's what it takes to make you happy.

O'Brien did that in DS9 as a last resort
