Mean for hundred of years in the future it may be hardish sci fi…they at least use made up words to explain things rather than just saying it works. Though I do agree, it’s no The Expanse (minus the gateways), Altered Carbon (without the consciousness put on a chip), Battlestar (without the teleporting)…wait not sure what the reasoning was. Those were just some of the first hard sci fi hits from Google for me.
Though Star Trek is more out there for sure, in not sure it’s much worse than others…maybe transporters being the worst for the category.
It’s aggravating that Twitter is still treated as the public square when half of the public has abandoned it.
Even with a mountain of earned media (AKA free publicity), loosening restrictions and enforcement on bot accounts and trolls, and tens of billions of dollars of new investment, It’s dropping rapidly off the social map. It’s less popular than Instagram, Telegram, Weibo, and Facebook Messenger (not Facebook - Facebook Messenger). Every time I see a news article promoting it I cringe. When I see people who should know better sticking around to prop up the dying platform it’s beyond disappointing.
At it’s height there were twitter accounts for something like 1/4 - 1/3 of the population in most developed countries. That is huge, but it was never the universal adoption that heavy users seemed to think it was.
It generated/generates news because it’s easy to see and short enough to digest quickly, not because it’s a representative sample.
Because Trekkies understand Tech and Warries understand Religion.
Star Trek: mostly hard sci-fi
Star Wars: fantasy space opera with magic powers
O.o
