Kirk & Crew rescue Chekov from 20th Century Medicine

wolfram's use of detour seemed like a dismissal of the utility of relativity, i read it as 'a waste of time'.. taking an indirect route when a direct route would have been preferred.. was something else meant by the word? people mock an earth centered universe today but was the idea a waste of time? what's the alternative to detours? waiting, still, until one is shown the direct route? how will it reveal itself? what defines direct? are there direct and detour routes between wolfram's network nodes? bones had a hard time appreciating the efforts of his predecessors(o), but does the potential of a future technology rendering a current technology obsolete, barbaric even, mean we should avoid it's utility because it's merely a 'detour' i think the probabilistic nature of quantum bodies is an incorrect model but i wholly endorse its use in those scenarios in which results are found where they were previously elusive i think monte carlo descision tree traversal is a misguided method but i wholly endorse its use in those scenarios in which results are found where they were previously elusive utilise and iterate on best fit 'detours' while still seeking direct routes my response to wolfram was asking: why call something a detour when everything is a detour, even his unfinished attempt at finalising all detours i want to make it clear that i encourage wolfram to continue his work on his theory, but careful judging lest ye be judged hey einstein, “Don’t waste your time working on that

No, not really. You're making a hyperbolic statement. I've been watching Star Trek for 40 years. We're definitely still in the Dark Ages: [VIDEO]

My sister actually works for the CDC and she's had cancer multiple times. She was patient zero in a study in another state from the one she lived in. One of the times she had cancer, she flew regularly to a state of the art facility for about 18 months to not die from her very aggressive form of cancer. At that time, we were still close. When we talked on the phone, we would quote some Star Trek line about "Good God Jim, you can't leave him in the hands of 20th Century medicine!" (Not the quote, but the rescue scene where the good doctor describes chemo as "sounds like the Spanish Inquisition": [VIDEO] ) I was in a really nice facility. I was not crazy. I was just a teenager who had been molested and raped by a relative who was not old enough to legally advocate for myself. (it's a long story) You would need to do better than merely throwing money at the problem and upgrading our current cages to cushy gilded cages for me to feel that it had some hope of being better than sleeping in a tent in the woods on my own recognizance. "Bars do not a prison make". And gilded bars do not a civilized climate make by any stretch of the imagination.
