We could be going towards a Star Trek like earth, but instead we're going for Star Wars like democracies

Yeah I was hoping for WW3 but we just got climate collapse instead. No star trek for us.

Vulcans would have to be real. Their presence is what makes humanity realize there’s a better way to live.

In fact Cochrane himself states that he built warp drive just to get rich. His intention was to jumpstart capitalism in a post-war world that had no functioning economy.

If Vulcans landed on our Earth after WWIII, we would just kill them and create the Mirror Universe instead.
