He doesn't pick a gender for his child, instead letting them pick their own identity. Pretty wild gender theory for early 90s daytime television.

    Star Trek is unbelievably good. Earth is literally just understood to be a communist paradise without crime/hunger/social issues/currency and it is never even questioned at least all throughout TNG and up to as far as I am in DS9 (apart from the star fleet military coup attempt).

    I havent watched the original series so I cant really say how it may differ in tone from TNG or DS9, but it really makes me wonder if boomers just pretend not to notice all the underlying social/economic lessons it tries to teach and all the parallels with communism.

        Corruption is rooted in the complacency of revolutionaries. Struggle only intensifies when primary stage socialism is achieved. Capitalist roaders within our movements will engage more covertly in counterrevolution than they were able to before.
