Michael J BurgessI am a huge fan of Star Trek, and one of my favourite characters is Data. Currently, I'm watching "The Offspring" from Star Trek: The Next Generation, an episode that never fails to fascinate me. As always, Data tries to mimic humanity, holding up a mirror to the way we perceive ourselves and what “being human" truly means. In this episode, we meet Lal, Data’s daughter. She is an extraordinary character. Her youth, combined with her robotic nature, creates a childlike innocence from a unique perspective, that of an android. Through her, we see both the curiosity of a child and the programmed logic of a machine, highlighting the many ways we define and recognise humanity. I've always believed that an android with the intelligence and interactive capabilities of Data and Lal would be a new form of life. Sentient in their own right. Not simply machines, but a race beginning its own journey deserving of recognition, rights, and respect, just as we afford to other sentient beings. I also admire Captain Picard for standing up for Data's rights in the earlier episode, "The Measure of a Man," which defines him and others like him as a form of life. Yet in The Offspring, we see this challenged again. An admiral attempts to take Lal away, claiming Data and the Enterprise are not fit to teach her. That made me think about parenthood itself: is any parent truly "capable" of teaching a child in a perfect, complete way? There is no universal rulebook for raising a living being. In my view, the answer is no. Wisdom can be gained. They can guide their children to become themselves, and maybe even a better version of those who raised them. This episode blends science fiction with deep, very human questions: What makes someone a person? How do we decide who has the right to raise a child? And are we ready, as a species, to accept that one day life may exist beyond biology? Star Trek tackled these questions decades ago, and they still feel relevant, perhaps more so today as AI and robotics evolve. If you're a fan, I'd love to know your thoughts. Would you consider beings like Data and Lal to be part of a new race? And do you think we're ready for what that means? <a href="https://social.beitmenotyou.online/tags/startrek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#StarTrek</a> <a href="https://social.beitmenotyou.online/tags/thenextgeneration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TheNextGeneration</a> <a href="https://social.beitmenotyou.online/tags/data" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Data</a> <a href="https://social.beitmenotyou.online/tags/lal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Lal</a> <a href="https://social.beitmenotyou.online/tags/startrektng" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#StarTrekTNG</a> <a href="https://social.beitmenotyou.online/tags/theoffspring" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TheOffspring</a> <a href="https://social.beitmenotyou.online/tags/scifi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SciFi</a> <a href="https://social.beitmenotyou.online/tags/ai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a href="https://social.beitmenotyou.online/tags/sentience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Sentience</a> <a href="https://social.beitmenotyou.online/tags/android" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Android</a> <a href="https://social.beitmenotyou.online/tags/startrekfan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#StarTrekFan</a> <a href="https://social.beitmenotyou.online/tags/sciencefiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ScienceFiction</a> <a href="https://social.beitmenotyou.online/tags/picard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Picard</a> <a href="https://social.beitmenotyou.online/tags/startrekdiscussion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#StarTrekDiscussion</a> <a href="https://social.beitmenotyou.online/tags/philosophyinscifi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PhilosophyInSciFi</a>

RS, Author, Novelist, Prosaist<blockquote><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/WordWeavers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WordWeavers</a> 2025.08.12 — On a scale from 1 to 10 — how comfortable is your MC’s life?</blockquote>A question like this almost demands a discussion on cultural relativism. Projecting what we think is right, practical, ethical, or moral on another culture has often lead to religious wars or marginalization. The MCs story takes place in a world very different than ours but, through what paleontologists define as convergent evolution, it is also very familiar. It's developed, it's urban, it's modern, with cities and trains and interstellar flight, but without much utilization of electricity. Consent is far more important to them than it is to us, so when it is violated it is more of a big deal. It is not a chaste society, and for good reasons I shan't go into here.Bolt's life from the outside is pretty reasonable. She eats regularly. She has shelter from the endemic furious heat. She has money, though she's allowed barely enough. She's in great physical condition, and occasionally has men in her life. What she lacks is agency. She has been blackmailed. She has no consent in the jobs she takes, though they're rarely onerous except when someone decides to beat up the messenger, her. Some readers might see her as being used or abused physically, but what constitutes that is fungible in her society unlike in ours, and relies on her perception of consent. What's important is that she often has no consent when she might otherwise withhold it. She knows she's where she is because of her own mistakes (her perception, at least) due to ignoring the advice of teachers and parents; she's become apathetic.Bolt's story is about how her hobby leads to her taking more control of her life. Her life is reasonably comfortable, except when it isn't. A 4, with 10 being exceptional.[Author retains copyright (c)2025 R.S.]<a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/BoostingIsSharing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BoostingIsSharing</a><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/gender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gender</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/fiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fiction</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#writer</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#author</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/cozy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cozy</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/mystery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mystery</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/sf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sf</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/sff" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sff</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/sciencefiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sciencefiction</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#writing</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writingcommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#writingcommunity</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writersOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#writersOfMastodon</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#writers</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/RSdiscussion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RSdiscussion</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/RSstory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RSstory</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/RSReluctanceStory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RSReluctanceStory</a>
