TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name
/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

What's the significance of Lor though? Seems intentional since you wrote it twice that way.
Data was good with information, logic and reasoning, etc.
Lore was good at people, colloquialisms and stuff.
Whereas, irl, data is just a collection of facts, a store of knowledge. lore is the myths and legends we tell ourselves, and not necessarily fact.
It’s really unfortunate that Lore was a villain.
Data is also objective or at least organised information, whereas lore is somewhat unreliable information, as it's characterised by oral tradition. (Also if you think about the word "folklore" the connotation of factual isn't too strong.)
Data is coded in straight Java. Lore is a stable diffusion thing instructed by popular media.
I think the intention was "the opposite of data is lore"
As Charles Fort said, systems of thought are invariably mutually antagonistic.
Everybody thinks that their system of thinking is the one and only true system, and all other systems are wrong and bad. (Which simplifies thinking I suppose.) Except luminaries like Charles, of course.
The writers clearly think that Data represents the good system and Lore one of those other systems.
it could have really been an interesting counterpoint- Data being cold and logical, Lore being... more empathetic. That duality. maybe leading to a sort of balance; since neither is useful without the other.
But nope. they had to make Lore a manipulative asshole.
even if Data didn't mean to be cold, exactly.
I just assumed it was spelled Lor. Seems obviously cooler. The rest is homonymious.
