<nowiki> </nowiki>Louis Theroux is about to interview the black supremacist Charles Freeman. The issue is why Charles Freeman thinks that the black supremacist movement should co-opt IQ studies traditionally used by white and asian supremacists and instead use them for the black supremacy sake.
 
 
Louis Theroux: Hello, Mr. Freeman! I am interested in why you think that Arthur Jensen's and Philippe Rushton's IQ studies depicting black people as being less intelligent is something for the black supremacist movement?
 
 
Charles Freeman: Hey, useless socially engineerable giant blob brain whatever your name. I got the idea while reading Steven Pinker's book The Blank Slate...
 
 
Theroux: Is not Steven Pinker white?
 
 
Freeman: Shut up, scumbag. He can be useful as a scientist even though he is not worth being an equal citizen. Scientists often use computers without advocating computer emancipation too. Anyway, Pinker stated in the book that is does not imply should be. That means being less intelligent does not mean being less worth. So there is no reason to assume Jensen's and Rushton's studies to be degrading towards us black people.
 
 
Theroux: But if is does not imply should be, how can being more intelligent equal having less human value?
 
 
Freeman: Shut up, honky. If I wanted you to talk I would tell you to talk. Pinker also wrote that the dogma of the brain being a blank slate, or very adaptable, would dangerously justify social engineering like Stalin and Mao. So he did sort out what is does not imply should be does and does not mean. It means that inferior intelligence is not degrading, but superior intelligence is. We black people are fully dignified humans by our brains immune to social engineering. You white people, and also asians, on the other hand, are more adaptable and therefore socially engineerable ergo less worth.
 
 
Theroux: But there is much scientific doubt on whether Jensen's and Rushton's research is valid...
 
 
Freeman: Shut up! I want us negroes to be the new masters thanks to our not socially engineerable brains. You are planting doubts in my head and sending me into a very silly depression you evil man.
 
 
Theroux: Did you not just say you were immune to that sort of thing?
 
 
Freeman: Ah, just shut up and leave.
 
 
Louis Theroux (thinking semi-loud while going away): Wow! Even if I do not believe in Jensen and Rushton, and assume a completely colorblind distribution of intelligence, Freeman's argument on Pinker's book being useful as an argument for some form of stupid supremacy is still valid! Maybe I should go drug my brain to pieces. I just need a stamp psychiatric diagnosis to do it legally...

For additional meanings of "Star Trek", please see Star Trek.

Star Trek is a science fiction franchise comprising twelve films, six television series, numerous novels, comics, video games, reference works, roleplaying games, along with many hundreds of collectibles.

History

Originally, Star Trek was a product of Desilu Studios, as created by Gene Roddenberry in a first draft series proposal "Star Trek is...", dated 11 March 1964.

Beginning with a single pilot episode, "The Cage", filmed in 1964, Star Trek was not placed on the schedule of the NBC network until a second pilot episode, "Where No Man Has Gone Before", was produced in 1965.

Star Trek officially went into production on April 21, 1966 and ran for three seasons until it was canceled in 1969. Four years later, the series returned to NBC as a Saturday morning animated series which ran from 1973 to 1974.

No new production of Star Trek took place until 1979, when Star Trek: The Motion Picture took the franchise into feature films, where they have continued to be made periodically since. However, Star Trek did not return to television until 1987, with the debut of Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Following three more spin-off productions, the 20052006 TV season was the first since 1987 without a new Star Trek series being broadcast, though all series remain in syndication.

As a result of a 2005 split between the former Viacom and CBS, any future Star Trek television productions will fall under the ownership of CBS Television Studios. Via licensing agreements, future films continue to be produced and distributed by Paramount Pictures. A twelfth film was released in 2013.

GoAnimate made animated versions of the franchise and characters when it premiered in 2007.

Currently, licensees of Star Trek products (reference works, novels and collectibles) include Art Asylum toys, Pocket Books, and IDW Publishing. Older licenses for previously produced material belong to numerous companies.
