@LukeAlmighty @matrix I wish someone had taught me this sooner:
It doesn't so much matter that you don't care. What matters the most is that others care.
Just like the libertarian who wants to abolish patents, not understanding that normals actually want to protect their IP; so goes for the colour-blind role model, in the long term defeated by the collective working together to further their genes at the expense of their individualist competition.
I sympathise with the stars aspiration. I'd personally prefer the aristocratic warrior space-faring civilisation rather than the Star Trek communist utopia.
...You do get to fuck lots of alien chicks, though.

But maybe only if you're the ship's captain.
