S01E01. First Contact

Before the Future Came is a podcast that looks at the ideals of Star Trek as we voyage from one episode or film to the next, following a breadcrumb trail of motifs. How is the universe portrayed in Star Trek a truly egalitarian utopia, and how does the world subtly uphold the hegemonic values of our present day?

> Standardized tests are bullshit

What is this based on? I'm listening to a #Destiny video where he said the exact opposite lol

He claimed they are "G-rated" and good tests of mental aptitude. Not sure what that means for me since I got like a 95% on the reading and English parts of the tests and like 60% on the math parts of the tests lol
