And it goes personal. "Star Trek was an attempt to say that humanity will reach maturity and wisdom on the day that it begins not just to tolerate, but take a special delight in differences in ideas and differences in life forms. […] If we cannot learn to actually enjoy those small differences, to take a positive delight in those small differences between our own kind, here on this planet, then we do not deserve to go out into space and meet the diversity that is almost certainly out there."-Gene RoddenberryThat's my point. That maturity he's talking about is losing tribalism. Us vs Them. Globalism isn't bad because it's the start of maturity.Why the fuck is Gene Roddenberry you're intellectual backing here? You're literally citing Star Trek. What the fuck.So? His story touched millions. Like it or not, his vision gave people hope. And I'm not quoting Star Trek, I'm quoting the author. It's not so much that his work is popular, it's the fact that you referenced a fucking screenwriter as a legitimate intellectual source in a serious discussion.It's like you deliberately go out of your way to miss the point of what people are trying to say sometimes.

The thread is "Why is Globalism Bad" not "Cite with sources explaining the failures of Globalism and society."
Globalism isn't bad, as we can't achieve our potential until we move past tribalism.
Fine.
