Star Trek Fans on AF.org
#64
RE: Star Trek Fans on AF.org
When watching Star Trek, I find it interesting when the various alien species make observations/commentaries about humanity, especially comments that challenge humanity's self importance or that indicate humanity's tendency to  interpret reality through a humanistic lens, which often does not have much validity to other lifeforms.  Thus, IMO, such commentary challenges the view that humanity is  the center of the universe and shows how that view can be perceived as conceit and arrogance by other lifeforms.  How can humanity continue to grow and become highly advanced if it closes itself off to the wider reality around it? If humanity considers itself to be advanced, then how would another species, who knows more about reality and is far more advanced than humans, come to view humans? 

P.S. One of my favorite Star Trek episodes is Errand of Mercy, where Kirk, Spock, and Kor encounter the Organians, a non-violent, peaceful people who are unimpressed by the Federation and the Klingon Empire.
