  • What spez wants is to be a notorious billionaire, respected for making reddit a profitable social media company. What he is, and what he probably always will be, is a shitty leader who doesn’t actually have a lot of business sense making decisions using emotion and ego and alienating a chunk of the user population.

    Hard to say if he will suffer any real consequences for this, but at least in some important circles he’s lost a lot of clout.



  • Even though I wouldn’t be terribly surprised to learn that this is the case, I think you’re making a lot of assumptions based on little to no evidence. That the notoriously private Worf didn’t mention Alexander to anyone doesn’t necessarily provide that they have a strained relationship; Alexander may very well have died and Worf suffers in silence over it. Conversely, Alexander may be a prominent member of the House of Martok and is well-known in the Federation so no one needs to ask about him.

    I’d like to think that Worf’s emotional maturity means that he probably did or does maintain a better relationship with Alexander, and it’s simply that he didn’t come up in the context of what was going on in the story.




  • I would make the case that in the Star Trek future, people have learned to be able to see beyond an individual’s mistakes (even egregious ones). The M-5 was certainly a dangerous mistake, but Daystrom had good intentions and was working on a project of great interest to Starfleet Command. The results were completely unintentional on Daystrom’s part, and he clearly was not emotionally stable by the time “The Ultimate Computer” occurs, so I think that in light of the many tremendous impacts Daystrom had in computing that society was able to understand and forgive.
