What is the purpose of a society? What even is a society - let alone one worth living in? What is needed to make it function?
In this episode, we discuss the varities of robotic "gods" scattered throughout Star Trek and the societies they dictate: if they're worth creating, and what that creation entails. We also explore how the Original Series has a unique approach to different societies compared with other Star Trek shows.
Cowboy Diplomacy indeed.
