Comment on NASA finds humanity would totally fumble asteroid defense

Covid kind of disillusioned me to the whole “all humanity needs is a common enemy/suffering to get right” concept.

Iirc, it wasn’t just that as far as Star Trek goes. Iirc, most world governments and economic systems were destroyed, humanity was a mere fraction of its peak population. Humanity literally physically came together because it was necessary to rebuild.
Its one thing to have a common enemy/suffering without changing anything else as far as governments and social systems goes. It’s completely different when you not only have the enemy/suffering but to also need to literally rebuild everything from scratch

The most horrifying possible outcome of a World War is, arguably, there being a definitive “winner”.

That’s just not true. WWI had a definitive winner in Europe, but not in the Middle-East. And Turks are still killing people unpunished. And Germany wasn’t a definitive loser, despite Entente countries making it really feel that role.

I’m pretty sure that didn’t really happen until after the Vulcans showed up, TBH.

Ah yea it looks like I was forgetting large parts, either way I think it still reinforces my main point, we will probably go through a lot more pain and suffering before we can even come close to Star Treks timeline
