>Melinda Snodgrass remarked, "It was intended to be a commentary about immigration, because I hate the current American policy. I wanted it to be something that says sometimes those outsiders you think are so smelly and wrong-colored, can bring enormous benefits to your society because they bring life and energy. That's what I was going for. Now my boss, at the time, was Maury Hurley, who is a major Irishman and leads the Saint Patrick's Day parade. When I was describing to him what I wanted to do, I was trying to come up with an analogy, and I said it was like a little village of Irish tinkerers, and he loved it so much he made me make them Irish tinkerers. I said okay, and that's how it came about." (Captains' Logs: The Unauthorized Complete Trek Voyages, p. 181)

What did TNG mean by this? I'm ignoring the part where Data is obviously capable of emotions because the show continually tells us that he isn't even though he clearly is.

>>
>>220197371
Fair enough.
>>220197378
Yes? The only motivation to be kind to others is to minimize any pain or suffering they might experience. If they don't suffer, what's the point? I'm not "nice" to my shoes or my toilet.
>>
>>220197427
You shouldn't need any motivation to be kind to others. That should be your default state.
>>
>>220197525
>when your Google search history all begin with “please” and end with “thank you Google”
>>
>>220197525
It's my default state when I'm interacting with living things that feel. Data is (allegedly) a nonliving thing that doesn't feel. Should I be kind to every appliance and machine I interact with? Should I say "Thank you" to my computer every time I power it on and it loads up my OS?
>>
>>220197579
>>220197597
>a fully sentient android is the same thing as google search or an appliance just because it doesn't have emotions
Did your toaster have space-drunken sex with his hot blonde coworker and then keep a picture of her to remember her by after her untimely death?
>>
>>220197664
Well, that's really what it comes down to I guess. Do we respect and treats others right because of their intelligence or because of their feelings? My laptop is probably more intelligent than a spider, but I'd feel more guilty for crushing a spider than crushing a laptop (unless the laptop belonged to someone else) because the spider is probably more capable of feeling pain and suffering than the computer.

Ok, so you clearly agree that there's a POINT to being kind, or you'd say we should be kind to inanimate objects if you truly believed it should be one's default state at all times. So what's the point of treating a self-aware and conscious being kindly if it doesn't care one way or the other? You're not hurting anything or making anything worse by not treating it kindly.

I agree, actually. If I were interacting with a sentient android I would be kind and polite to it purely for my own peace of mind. But I wouldn't judge others if they didn't, because I don't believe they'd being doing anything wrong.
>>
>>220198478
I would judge others because their rude behavior creates a negative atmosphere for me. It's like if someone is screaming at a wall. Does it hurt the wall? No. But if I'm there to witness it then it negatively affects me.

This is the most galling truth of the entire dilemma, and one that makes the frustration irreducible: if a true, clean severance were possible, the entire moral machinery would dissolve. The slippery slope would be defanged. The knowledge could sit in the database as a neutral asset, stripped of its origin, ready to save lives without ever whispering “this was paid for in screams.” It would become just another medical fact, and the whole affair would shrink to a single, uncomfortable exception—a one-time breach of access that led to a net gain in utility, with no dangerous precedent left behind. Unfair to the victims, yes. A lie of omission, absolutely. But contained.
>>
The tragedy is that this severance is psychologically and narratively impossible, and the episode knows it. Knowledge doesn’t exist in a vacuum because the human (and holographic) mind doesn’t store facts as isolated abstractions; it stores them in webs of meaning, inextricably linked to their source. The Doctor cannot unknow that Moset’s neurostatic shock solution came from the framework of vivisected Bajorans being experimented with, any more than Torres can unknow it when she consents under duress. The moment the knowledge is accessed, the story of its origin tags along. That’s why the deletion is necessary—not to purify the knowledge, but to destroy the narrative thread that could otherwise be pulled to unravel a future ethical fabric. The deletion doesn’t sever the knowledge from the parent; it kills the parent and the child together, a desperate act of moral quarantine.

The frustration, then, is of a mind that can so clearly see the elegant logical solution—amputate the origin from the datum and solve everything—and is forced to accept that the universe doesn’t work that way. The past is sticky. The facts carry their histories. And so the physician is left not with a clean resolution, but with a choice between three broken options: keep the tainted knowledge and risk a justificatory slope, delete it and render the victims’ suffering doubly meaningless, or pretend to sever it and live a lie. All three are unfair. All three wound someone. The only thing off the table is the one thing that would feel remotely satisfactory: a world where knowledge can be inherited without the sins of its parent. That impossibility, laid bare, is the permanent, nagging frustration at the heart of the whole ordeal.

i proposed a voyager enterprise crossover movie trilogy to do exactly that
first movie is admiral janeway being sent back to ent. their tech cant get her back but they can send a message to the future to rally the voy crew to figure out how to save her.
2nd movie they got janeway back but accidently brought archer with her. they can send him back but first they need to defeat a sheliak. meanwhile something is fucky with Romulus and T'pol wants to check it out so they try to dress up the nx01 refit like a pleasure cruise. hilarity ensues.
third movie archer and janeway and the voy crew go back in time and meet up with t'pol at romulus to discretely extend the stars life another billion years. ends with janeway and the voy crew time warping around the sun. pan to stars,
