But does that hint at what's in store for useless males on planet Earth? With a little genetic engineering women could begin cloning themselves to get rid of the male pests. Plot for a scifi novel. Throw in Mormon theology, and you've got a problem which could frustrate the plans of the Creator. 1

Calm Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 (edited) Roddenberry series, but not Star Trek iirc....hmm...nope still the men as slaves. Apparently no man can actually imagine a healthy matriarchal society where men are in the same situation as women were in the early 1900s at least. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planet_Earth_(film) --- the Star Trek version had the women using the men for breeding, but they had all been reduced to limited intelligence by turning over the running of their world to an advanced machine while retreating underground to survive an ice age, iirc. They were all slaves to the machine. Spock's brain iirc again. Edited February 6, 2018 by Calm 2

Calm Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 Star Trek: Phase 2 appears to have been going this direction: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek:_Phase_II#Episodes "While searching for a missing starship, the Enterprise comes across a world in need of men."

I do not believe it for a moment though. 1

That could be a real money maker.

The world hunger problem is solved and we get to eat nothing but "lobster" I knew God would provide! https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowTopic-g60864-i34-k1809319-What_does_a_crawfish_taste_like-New_Orleans_Louisiana.html

I actually have a sci-fi novel in train that kinda sorta does that -- but without the Mormon theology. I may never finish it, but if I do I'm sure it will sell at least 100 copies!
