Maybe we've all done it? I know that I've used the principles learned from Star Trek (staring at age 3) in my real life. Yah, it's no coincidence that there's a book called "All I Really Need To Know I Learned From Watching Star Trek." Here's an article from StarTrek.com that caught my eye. It's called "Loss and "The Loss:" How Deanna Troi Counseled Me Through COVID-19." This writer talks about how Trek has helped him with the (temporary) loss of taste and smell, and it hits home.
How many times have I been sitting in a conference room, wanting to jump over the table with my bat'leth, and it helped me to think "What would Captain Kirk do?" Actually that's a really bad example, because Captain Kirk would just grab a phaser, but perhaps Captain Picard could have served as a role model where diplomacy was required. I know, however, that there have been a lot of really good examples in my life, so this piqued my interest. If you'd like to read about this Trek fan's experience, click HERE
