Recorded on-stage at Øredev 2023 just after her keynote, Fredrik chats to Galit Ariel about being inspired by the right science fiction, uninspired futures, and much more. It's all thanks to Star Trek - a vision of the future which is actually positive and thoughtful What science fiction can teach us about what we think of as the other Uninspired future building - is it that things become so big they become more bland because they can't afford to not be wide and bland? Too much push for product and profit Microsoft, AI, and the panic to surf the current wave Will cultures change? Perhaps a recession will help - reality is biting a bit at the worst misdirections. When things are stale and still, more interesting and nuanced things have the time to happen Also: the new generation is looking good! Thank you Cloudnet for sponsoring our VPS!

What was Star Trek? What is Star Trek? Why is Star Trek? These questions and many more on a very special (well, we think it's special) episode of SB:TNG!

Welcome to the premier of the Science of Star Trek, a podcast series inspired by my review of Star Trek, the Original Series in the summer podcast special series Trekking Through Compliance.In this series I am joined by Astrophysicist and  Healthcare Futurist Ben Locwin. In this podcast we consider the TOS episode Mirror Mirror as a starting point for the consideration of the science around the transporter.  In this episode, a landing party Kirk, McCoy, Scotty, and Uhura beams back up to the Enterprise. Interference from an ion storm, however, causes them to be transported into a parallel universe and a mirror image Enterprise. Now aboard the Imperial Starship Enterprise, the landing party discovers crew members who are mirror images of themselves and belong to an evil Federation known as the Empire. Their first experience is the torture of transporter operator Mr. Kyle with an agonizer for his alleged failure to beam the landing party up quickly enough. Immediately, Kirk realizes that a mirror image landing party must have been beamed aboard the real U.S.S. Enterprise. Kirk, Uhura, McCoy, and Scotty impersonate their mirror image counterparts while finding a way to return to their universe. When Kirk and the party return, they find that their Empire counterparts were immediately recognized and put in detention. The Enterprise's crew attributes this to the fact that it is easier for logical men to appear barbarous than for barbarous men to appear civilized.  Highlights include:Quantum transportation of information.While we cannot yet teleport, we can recreate.How does the telegraph signal explain this science used in Star Trek?What about the radio signals from the Apollo moon flights?

Poker, Virtue Ethics, and the Prisoner's Dilemma.   In Star Trek: The Next Generation, we see a lot of poker: from Commander Riker cleaning house, to Data learning how to bluff, to Geordi claiming not to cheat with his VISOR. But exactly why do we see so much poker in Star Trek? What important character traits or skills does the game of poker help instill in a young Starfleet officer? Can any important lessons in ethics or diplomacy be learned from playing poker? How are those character traits or skills different from those learned from playing other games, such as three-dimensional chess? And how does poker relate to game-like scenarios in ethics, such as the Prisoner's Dilemma? In this episode of Meta Treks: A Star Trek Philosophy Podcast, hosts Mike Morrison and Zachary Fruhling tackle the philosophy and ethics of poker aboard the Enterprise-D. From virtue ethics to game theory, Mike and Zachary bluff their way through a discussion of the deeper significance of poker in the Star Trek universe.  Chapters Welcome to Episode 18 (00:01:07) Intro to the Topic (00:01:19) Meta Treks Reviews on iTunes (00:05:04) Poker Episodes in Star Trek: The Next Generation (00:08:38) Virtue Ethics - Does Poker Cultivate Desirable Character Traits?
