So, you know how pornography is like a substitute for sex?

This is kind of like that.

	Not enough to make a sweeping conclusion that there are no similarities, but enough to remark that I do not see them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I see where you're coming from with the "no similarities", Spock. I really do. Porn actors aren't usually travelling away from each other faster than the speed of light, for one. But I bet in some cases they'd like to be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They do, at times, travel away from each other. But in those instances, they typically close that distance rapidly and repeatedly. (Though certainly not at the speed of light.) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thank you for that. When I woke up this morning, I said to myself "Today, I need Spock to make porn unsexy." and what do you know? You delivered. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vulcanmind 2013-09-19 06:58 pm UTC (link)
	You should have asked. It would have saved us a great deal of time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jameskirk 2013-09-19 09:23 pm UTC (link)
	Sure. Why don't I just give you a list of things you can ruin for me, and we'll get it out of the way? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vulcanmind 2013-09-19 09:35 pm UTC (link)
	I would be happy to look into that for you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jameskirk 2013-09-19 09:43 pm UTC (link)
	So accommodating. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vulcanmind 2013-09-19 10:09 pm UTC (link)
	I can be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No but seriously. Aren't those telescope photographs great? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I have never been quite so tempted to violate the prime directive and advance science several centuries. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Spock \| Kirk. jameskirk 2013-09-19 10:42 pm UTC (link)
	I was just talking to myself about that! Not... myself-myself. My other self. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Spock \| Kirk. vulcanmind 2013-09-19 10:49 pm UTC (link)
	I rarely speak to my other self. I find that our point of divergence is not something of which I wish to be reminded. What were his thoughts? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Spock \| Kirk. jameskirk 2013-09-19 11:45 pm UTC (link)
	....Maybe it's why we're here. Maybe in this world, it's how they're meant to learn. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Spock \| Kirk. vulcanmind 2013-09-20 12:23 pm UTC (link)
	I think it is a very dangerous game, to speak of what is meant to happen. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Spock \| Kirk. jameskirk 2013-09-20 12:25 pm UTC (link)
	I know, but I think it's also pretty judge-y to decide who does and doesn't have the right to... know. To learn. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Spock \| Kirk. vulcanmind 2013-09-20 12:26 pm UTC (link)
	There are reasons for the Prime Directive's existence. Not judgment, but non-interference. I am sure that you have seen what becomes of civilizations that are exposed to advanced technology -- particularly advanced weaponry -- before they are prepared to use them wisely. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Spock \| Kirk. jameskirk 2013-09-20 12:30 pm UTC (link)
	So what do you think we should do? Honestly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Build a starship. Neglect to tell them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Spock \| Kirk. jameskirk 2013-09-20 12:41 pm UTC (link)
	Woah. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Spock \| Kirk. vulcanmind 2013-09-20 12:45 pm UTC (link)
	It would satisfy the conditions of the Prime Directive. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Spock \| Kirk. jameskirk 2013-09-20 12:49 pm UTC (link)
	How would we fund it without telling anyone? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Spock \| Kirk. vulcanmind 2013-09-20 12:52 pm UTC (link)
	Therein lies the difficulty. I believe the first human to develop warp drive did so (relatively) cheaply, using commonly accessible materials and tools. How resourceful are you, Captain? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Spock \| Kirk. jameskirk 2013-09-20 12:55 pm UTC (link)
	Well, I have an idea but I don't know how we'd pull it off in secret. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Spock \| Kirk. vulcanmind 2013-09-20 01:11 pm UTC (link)
	You have my attention. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
