Hi,
reduced to it's essence, your argument says Star trek can be fun; but no more. It cannot inspire, educate, or create wonder. As we have been pointing out, it can,has, and does. You lose.

"It cannot inspire, educate, or create wonder"
Perhaps in children, though you might be wise to first give them the ability to experience wonderment in the universe outside of TV.
"You lose."
Spoken like a true 6 year old, but you forgot the obligatory "Na- Na, Na-Na-Naaaaaaa"

  Hi,
  so now I have the intellectual maturity of a child. I provided a counterexample; and you provide this. Let you in on a secret....as a school bus driver; I get insulted fairly regularly. Over the years, something obvious finally occurred to me. When someone offers an insult; they are usually talking about themselves; or at least something they fear may be true.

    "so now I have the intellectual maturity of a child."
    No,I suspect you've had it for some time.
    "Let you in on a secret....as a school bus driver;(Do you say "Engage!" when you start 'er up ?- just trying to get back on topic) I get insulted ......"
    If the kids are insulting you, let me let you in on some common knowledge: it's not possible to feel offense or be somehow damaged by the mere words of children, unless there's another meaning to the word "insult" you've invented. Maybe the kids just don't like you.
    If there's adults insulting you, maybe they don't like you either.
    "......fairly regularly."
    No surprises there.
    "When someone offers an insult; they are usually talking about themselves; or at least something they fear may be true."
    IKYABWAI doesn't work outside of a school bus, Late.
    (Do you have a "I stop for Borg Cubes" sticker on the back of the bus ?)
