Why the Ferengi Are Star Trek's Best Alien (Yes, Really) (Patreon)

It's finally here! I've been working on this video for the better part of a year. It's not a topic on its face that I think any of you will think will warrant such a big video, but I actually think this might be my most salient Star Trek video about today. Star Trek, to me, is about reaching for a better future, something that seems so far away right now. But the Ferengi, in so many ways, represent us today - unable to see a horizon because of how much our capitalist world has made it seem like it is the only way with no alternative - and yet still find ways of reaching, of finding themselves. Of making something better. That is what Star Trek is always about - and it's why I think they have so much to show us about our path forward to that Star Trek future.
