Does the government have your fingerprints documented?

I don't know. This is far too reductive, of course, but I kind of think that there is a very real and notable difference between the way that violence was treated in the 1960s Star Trek, which was written in the shadow of nuclear armageddon twenty years after the bloodiest war in human history (and largely by people who had fought in that war), and in the newer series, where the writers' experience of violence comes primarily from action movies and video games.

Like, I think that there's a tendency of people in the present to imagine that people in the past were naive and...I really don't think that history bears this out. I don't think that subversion is always clever just because a trope can be subverted. I think that imagining that your enemy might be an actual moral actor with whom it's possible to reason is actually a great deal more mature than imagining your enemy as a bloodthirsty monster who will kill by nature.

TIL: Curséd Knowledge

Prompted by this, I had a thought.

And I looked up the answer and it was ‘yes.’

Moose can in fact get rabies.

This does not surprise me: I had learned (possibly incorrectly) that any mammal with a body temperature appropriate for the virus could get the virus. Thus North American opossums’ immunity: their body temperature is too low.

It does, however, raise a horrible thought. While a rabid and therefore hydrophobic moose is not likely to go swimming, they -are- likely to stumble off a cliff into an orca occupied fjord. And as we know…

Orcas will hunt, kill, and eat moose.

This raises an entirely new apocalyptic scenario: rabid toothed whales and their prey.

Or does it? Anyone know what the body temperature range is for orcas?
