Star Trek - Picard on Death

The crew of the Enterprise face death in 20 minutes. Picard uses his last moments to listen to music. He is joined by Data, who asks him about death.

I cut out the part where Deanna walks in and talks about plot elements, so that's why she appears on the couch suddenly.

Picard is so fucking high. Pot must be legal in their time.

[theinquisitor]

@charvelgtrs, well he was facing apparent certain death in less than 20 minutes. Would you be sober?

I like this. We must all remember that anyone claiming to know what happens to us after we die are either lying, mentally ill, both or after something. Am I the only one who finds psychics who claim to be able to speak to the dead fundamentally sick? Giving comfort for money in some kind of twisted prostitution of emotions?

[theinquisitor]

@neil73, I also find psychics utterly reprehensible. Especially the big ones like John Edward and Sylvia Browne. Rather than allowing the person to grieve and heal, they draw out the pain and poison the memories of the dead person with the psychic's bullshit messages from them. It's just an old carnival trick called cold reading. The money is one thing, but there should be laws against this kind of fraud that causes real emotional harm to people.

@theinquisitor Me too. And they always have the audacity to say they aren't in it for the money. I read back my last comment and I realise Ive (sort of ) quoted Tim Minchin's poem 'Storm'. If you've not seen it, I highly recommend it to you - its about an atheist humanist (Minchin) who argues with a newager hippy type at a dinner party. Search 'Tim Minchin - Storm' and you'll find it - 9 minutes of class

@neil73, oh yes Storm is brilliant. Tim Minchin is hilarious. I saw Storm performed live by Tim at TAM London 2009. That was awesome and it was the first time I'd heard it. Also, at TAM London 2010, I saw an unfinished version of the short animation that's been made to go with the poem that's supposed to be released sometime this year.

Let me return a recommendation for the more obscure George Hrab. He also writes skeptically themed music, such as the song "Everything alive will die someday".

@charvelgtrs Surprisingly, Vulcans grow the best hydro kush in the whole damn quadrant.

Picard is a P-I-M-P

[ZeroPermission]

@charvelgtrs Replication technology. FTW.

[universallyacclaimed]

@TheAH67 it wasnt Data who asked the question but merely a projection of Data. Did you watch the episode?
