Star Trek inspired me by showing me a galaxy full of equals, and a galaxy where you don't interfere with indigenous cultures. A federation of worlds where everyone's needs are taken care of and human rights are respected.

And most importantly, an imperative to talk things out in a hostile situation before shooting.

That last line is what hits me the most. Probably because if we did the last line first then the others would fall into place. One can understand quite a lot by simply listening.

Exactly. We do far too much shooting first and asking questions later in this world and it is not a path to peace.

You worded it more eloquently than I was going to. We'll get our fully automated gay space communism one of these days.
