That is a misconception! Star Trek is, in fact, a show about the weirdest chairs you’ve ever seen.

A screencap from Star Trek: Deep Space 9, depicting Constable Odo walking in front of a desk with spindly bulbous chairs.

A screencap from Star Trek: The Original Series, depicting Spock sitting on an orange chair which resembles a folded ribbon.

A screencap from Star Trek: Discovery, depicting Saru sitting on a white couch that resembles a lot of layers of white cushions, near white chairs which look somehow wrinkled.

    There have been many ways, both formal and informal, to try and measure human progress towards a proper, humanist utopia. In the 20th century, the Human Development Index was created as a measurement. Karl Marx famously pointed out as a rule of thumb: “Social progress can be measured by the social position of the female sex”. But all of those were, in fact, wrong.

    It was only centuries after, when without a doubt, the true measurement of progress was found: The Chair Weirdness Index.
