    Oh dang. I thought I made the mouse-over alt-text sufficient.

    It’s the classic popular Dunning-Kruger graph, where those without the ability lack the ability to know they lack the ability, and so, in over-confidence, grossly over-estimate their competence. The point on the chart the arrow points to is often referred to as “mount stupid”.

      So you came into a trek based community to call a trek series stupid?

          I’m not watching some right wing shit head youtuber complain about “woke” trek. Thanks for outing your account as one to ignore.

            Typically I score around -7,-8 on political compass. So, very much not “right wing”.

            Canny with those snap judgements and mono-linear conflations.

            I’m mad at the badness in SFA for not upholding the ideals of Gene Roddenberry, and for being crass militaristic propaganda normalising hate, rather than countering it.

            I’m not complaining about it being “woke”. Pray tell, where, oh where, was that notion picked up from? Seems as absurdly wrong as Star Trek Starfleet Academy is. Arguably, I’m complaining it’s not “woke” enough, depending on which newspeak dictionary version of “woke” you’re using. I’m complaining that it’s corporate (right wing) dumb-down, stripped of the defining moral fiber, the ethical exploration, the freedom, the self improvement for each and all… y’know, the goodness that makes Star Trek Star Trek?

            Quick to ignore = wilfully ignorant?

            The Socratic method, and mature epistemological dialogue (like Star Trek’s famous for), may serve us all very well. Would be good to have a new Star Trek that lives up to this, having humility, curiosity, and a rigorous search for the ideal when confronted with moral dilemmas, rather than just fire the phasers; swing the hammer; click the ignore button, like we’ve left ourselves weakened with only one tool in our toolbox, seeing every problem like the same threat. Y’know?

              Perhaps you were unaware, but nerdrotic (the author of the video you linked above) is a known bigot and right wing grifter. That’s why the above user concluded that your opinion was not worth listening to. Just thought you should know.

                Righto. Thanks for the info.

                Though I’ll still continue to strive to listen to a wide variety of opinions.

                The little I’ve seen from him and the guests he had on, that was not apparent. Rather the contrary, given their love of Star Trek, and their praise of its egalitarian economics and ethics.

      I thought I made the mouse-over alt-text sufficient.

      How does that work in mobile apps like Voyager?

      Besides that, I still don’t know what you want to say. Do you think Academy is stupid? Do you think fans of the show are stupid? I didn’t watch it, why do you think either was stupid, what are your clues?
