Part of the reason the show works is that we never really see Federation life outside of Starfleet. Mostly this is for practical budget reasons; what does a post-scarcity egalitarian society actually look like? That's difficult to depict in a show designed to recycle the same set every episode and only very occasionally go outside to film.

So what little we see of the civilian federation looks... a lot like the US. There's a president. Member ~~states~~ planets. Constant references to US history. A military that operates how Americans like to think their military works, rather than what it actually historically has done.

Newer shows take this even further. Section 31, as it was first introduced, was supposed to be a highly illegal, unsanctioned conspiracy acting in the shadow of the proper Federation. Now they're presented as the ultra official, coolest badasses who are the only reason any of the egalitarian principals are able to survive.

That image is at least a decade old, note that it says "wi-fi" and not "5G".

I feel like if I was gonna put a computer attached to a motor & heater inside a bed, the very first step would be making sure that if the software goes wrong, it always defaults to staying bed shaped and not catching fire.

I know I know hindsight is 20/20, I'm sure I'm just missing something. Venture capitalists would just give their money to any random idiot with a pitch, right?

lol

the Sun does the same thing but also with a profit motive

thank you

the effects were nice, the sets memorable, the costuming was good

too bad it was a boring slog that kinda soured any desire I had to go back and see the first one again

Some answers may literally beyond our comprehension.

Sure that may definitely be the case. But in practice, that means we should be exhausting the comprehensible possibilities first. Many Worlds is an explanation of last resort.

So what is this "objective" perspective? Could you break it down like you broke down the subjective one?

We also put people who happened to have a few grams of weed in there.

The point of the thought experiment is that a cat that is both alive and dead is absurd and clearly not what actually is happening. Schrödinger intended it to demonstrate that quantum mechanics was not a complete description of the universe, we're still missing something(s).
