The Goal

In the last episode of season 1 of Start Trek - The Next Generation - "The Neutral Zone", the Enterprise encounters an old vessel, apparently from around early 21st Century. In it they find crypts with deep-frozen people. They end up thawing three of the people. During the episode, there are several conversations between the folks from the 21st century and the crew of the Enterprise - who are from 24th century.
During one of these conversations, Capt. Picard was trying to explain to that 21st century business man, that now there is no need for money anymore. That humanity has figured out how to clothe and feed everybody. The business man then asks: "What is the challenge?". Picard's answer is something in direction of "To improve ourselves, and to contribute".
I really like that particular episode. It shows a humanity that has grown, developed, and matured to the point where we don't have to war each other anymore. And where we don't have to worry about and concern ourselves with plain survival.
Instead, our survival is guaranteed. The goal for people is not anymore to amass wealth and possessions. We are focusing on developing and contributing.

My goal for this blog is to contribute to our species getting there – and hopefully sooner than the 24th century that Start Trek is set in.
