(N.B: This was first published as a Note a couple of months prior, but I was bullied into publishing it a proper post. Please enjoy.) There is an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation in which Data, an advanced android, faces against Kolrami, an alien with a legendary strategic mind, in some futuristic game of strategy, some sort of sci-fi chess. Data loses their initial game, to the surprise of everyone, especially himself. He cannot understand how a living being could beat his super-advanced computerized brain in a game of pure logic, to the point of running diagnosis on himself to see if he is malfunctioning.
Iām proud to say that I am one of the said bullies
