I can't think of another show as stunningly colorful as the original Star Trek -- it remains one of the most visually beautiful shows ever. Man, I really do like that color palette. I'm wondering if the new one is going to be the washed out modern standard. I'm hoping for firetruck reds, but steeling myself for more retirement community teals. My secret dream is for Pedro Almodovar to direct a trilogy of gorgeous Star Trek melodrama-farces set on a Federation cruise ship.

The Stubborn Fable of Cyborg-Ruggedized Individuals Enjoying e2e Net-Liberty
It's based on bullshit mythology of the Internet. That it used to be pure, but got corrupted. @tante — Yasha Levine
The end-to-end principle is *always* figured via the already reactionary conception of negative liberty. Hijinks ensue.— Dale Carrico
If all you can think of is the individual, you'll miss everything about social and society.— Jürgen Geuter
Indeed; more particularly, all liberty is substantiated in/by public investment/performance and hence is "positive"... 1 Presumably "negative" liberties are efforts to naturalize, de-politicize status-quo conventions benefiting incumbency. 2 The empty-space of e2e mimes Millian space the fist can swing except where it meets my chin: the "pre-political" body. No surprise this actually politicized body reappears in paranoid cyber-talk of crypto-security, individuted-privacy... 4 "individuated" (sorry). MacPherson's "Possessive Individualism" again, which Hayles mapped onto the cyberspatial sprawl.— Dale Carrico
