Star Trek

Trek has been part of my life since I was an infant. I have bookcases full of Trek books. One of my tattoos is the Vulcan calligraphy for “kol-ut-shan” (IDIC). This is my home fandom.

When one of the most effective and frightening villains of 1980s-era Trek is a collective without individuals, it’s not surprising that an inability to look beyond the individual to act in the interests of the common good is our biggest real-world barrier to dealing with Covid.

AI Declaration

This site is written by me without the use of generative AI for text, images or anything else. I have decades of experience in creating artisanally hand-crafted typos and errors and have no interest in statistically generating my mistakes.

If I post videos I have created, iterative (traditional) AI may be used for a first pass at creating captions, but all captions are then verified and corrected before being embedded.

Old Post Disclaimer

My views, beliefs, and thoughts have changed over time, and there are many things in my archives that I would not write the same way today, if at all. In general, I have moved steadily to the political left; my current beliefs put me in the category of "progressive left" as defined by the Pew research group. Posts over two years old will have a disclaimer automatically added at the top of the page. For more background, read my "Change is Good" post.
