siderea pointed me to this epic-length tweet thread from Sarah Taber on twitter, about agrarian romanticism in Star Trek here, thank you threadreader

Here is where I admit to having only a passing knowledge of Star Trek, so I can't judge that side of things, but I do think the future agricultural policy questions are interesting.

I mostly agree with most of what she says, like "why is there still monoculture corn in Iowa?" and "How can the Picards get away with inefficient irrigation on a vinyard?" and "how, exactly, are you organizing land ownership and management because this seems less tech-utopia-future-y and more neo-feudalist weird shit?"
