I'm pretty sure it wouldn't, because in such a world you'd have grown up to be one too.adwuga wrote:I totally agree.
However, I see what you mean and I think you might have a bit of a twisted idea of what I mean by 'nice people'; I'm not offering a world full of incessant smiles and frozen grins that crack at the edges when you step out of protocol as these things are often presented by films and such that disagree with the concept, but more a place where there would be mutual respect and above all consideration: none of this stupidly bureaucratic profit-chasing capitalism, just a well thought-out system with a healthy interest in all sciences and arts, and of course the fair distribution of resources. (note: fair does not necessarily mean equal)
It would kind of be like Star Trek, TNG and later, where Earth's famine and such has been "solved", heck if I know how, with the use of coordinated and willing cooperation of all nations. This would leave us more adventurous people to either seek out dangerous/thrilling hobbies like rockclimbing or whatever, or join Starfleet.
If you'd rather go join the Klingons or become the Jango Fett, you are free to do so, and godspeed!
And Timbles?
You dead.
