TNG had Picard give a speech to a person from the past about how the Federation was able to accomplish so much only because society stopped being oriented around the accumulation of wealth.
Discovery had a character praise Elon Musk for being a pioneer.
To be fair to Discovery I think that was written before Musk had completely (or at least publicly) gone off the deep end, but even at the time I thought it was extremely stupid to have a character praise an early 21st century oligarch in the same sentence that they mention actual inventors and engineers.
Brought to you by the people that think Star Trek is too woke these days.
WOKENESS? In MY Utopian Space-Communist future!?
Special thanks to Discovery for putting the Gay front and center in the Fully-Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism of Star Trek.
It’s more likely than you think
I’m reminded of fox news saying star wars is to woke these days “that’s why I like star trek”
Star Trek isn’t woke enough these days.

That Musk-praise Discovery bit was said by someone from the mirror universe.
So it checks out.
