Episode 140 - Star Trek: TNG - S3E16 The Offspring (56:04)

We boldly continue our summertime mission with our pal, Patrick MacFarlane of the Liberty Weekly Podcast discussing episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation. You can check out Pat’s show at: http://www.libertyweekly.net This one is Season 3, Episode 16 - The Offspring. Hoping to further his creator’s work and perpetuate his species, Data creates and android named Lal, who identifies as female. Is she a creation or an offspring. Do the rights afforded the father extend to his creation? There is some administrative fireworks between Picard and Admiral Haftel that are unfortunately defused by the plot convenience of Lal’s cascade failure, but this is still a fun episode that explores the concepts and situations around parenting, social interactions and education. Join us next week as we discuss "Crazy Heart" with our musician friend, Scott M. Show notes and more to be posted at: http://www.actualanarchy.com/140 Presented by ActualAnarchy.com Robert and I analyze popular movies from a Rothbardian/Anarcho-Capitalist perspective. We use movies as a starting point for people who may not be familiar with this way of thinking. Discussion of the plot and decisions that characters make in relation to morality and violations of the non-aggression principle are our bread and butter. We also will highlight and discuss any themes or lessons from Austrian Economics that we can glean from the film. The point is to show what anarchy actually is with instances that are presented in film. We publish at least once per week; and occasionally will do specials surrounding holidays or events (elections/olympics) and have guests. SUBSCRIBE, RATE AND REVIEW ON APPLE PODCASTS (or iTUNES)
