    And the Whales go extinct. The Star Trek timeline isn’t as bright and cheery as most people believe. The franchise has always been collapse-aware, its just not front and center. Gene Roddenberry just envisioned that post capitalist collapse (And with the discovery of intelligent alien life) that humanity would be able to rebuild better from the ashes.

      We only know that humpback whales go extinct. The rest of the whales could be doing fine in the 23rd century.
