Geordi basically got super vision from his choice to integrate technology. He did not simply stay blind. What are you talking about?

If you could offer an effective, affordable and safe tech solution to people’s disabilities, the vast majority would use it. Nobody is out here ‘accepting myself’ if a fix exists. We know this because we already fix disabilities when able and nobody is choosing no. All of medicine is fixing disabilities or preventing them, from a broken finger to avoiding diabetes.

The modern process for overcoming trauma is the best we have right now. That it’s the same in 1000 years is bad science fiction, especially when medical science in the same world is lightyears more advanced. Why is mental health processes and treatment no better than 2025?

‘Taking a happy pill’ is, again, the modern equivalent of technology in mental health treatment. People in 3100 might, I don’t know, have advanced since now? The point of science in the fiction is to envision how it might have advanced. If you think mental health treatment is going to be talk therapy or CBT for the next thousand years, that seems pretty unlikely, particularly for severe trauma which has physiological affects on the brain that could potentially be modified.

Alright, you clearly can’t understand anything i said so theres no point.

That’s a pretty common part of science fiction, particularly cyberpunk, though. What does it mean to be human in a world of advanced technology? Data from TNG was this very question, that character existed to explore what it meant to be human and confront the realities of our relationship to technology. This hologram character could have been similar. If little to no part of the story is the relationship between human beings, technology, and scientific knowledge, it isn’t science -fiction.

I think that’s the crux of the hate for this series and discovery, of this Kurtzman era of trek. It’s isn’t science-fiction at all, it’s drama set in a techno-fantasy world. Those are two very different things and neither is Star Trek.

Why?

That’s the perfect scenario for science-fiction. It’s theoretically possible to do so, trauma has a physiological footprint, it manifests in physical reality that can be altered by technologies. It’s entirely plausible for some effects of trauma to be healed medically instead of solely through something like talk therapy, or in this case, theatre therapy.

*I had deleted my comment prior to your post, as it was intended for the poster one level up in the thread.

It’s disappointing worldbuilding that there is no advanced mental/medical health services everpresent already that people just use whenever. Why isn’t trauma recovery a medical procedure? Why isn’t there a holodeck for use as a therapeutic tool? The hologram ‘experiencing a childhood’ is literally a version of that already. 1k years in the future and people need theatre to teach them to manage their mental health…

But such things would require the showrunners to give a shit about the science fiction part of startrek and not abuse the IP for a modern day teen character drama set in a generic tech fiction setting. The technology and the world in this show is not treated as a meaningful character itself, the science and technology is written for the convenience of the plot and does not form a cohesive or consistent world. This lack of object storytelling is a modern writing issue that makes the stories lack grounding in shared reality. Each episode of this show might as well just be a dream one of the characters had.
