How does Nog’s journey during Star Trek: Deep Space Nine exemplify IDIC?

This is not a deep article, but I do like to share things that point out how DS9 wasn't just the "dark, gritty" Trek before Nu-Trek. It was the Trek that tested Roddenberry's Utopian ideals more than any other series and proved them superior every time.
The Dominion war ended because we saved the Founders, but because we genocided them, for example. Section 31 was wrong.
DS9 is like "The Knights of the Old Republic" in that it understood the source material deeply and made us appreciate it all the more by pushing it to its limits.

The shot of Scotty recording a Captain's log in a voice-over at the beginning of #StarTrek's "Wink of an Eye"⬆️ was taken from the beginning of "The Empath"⬇️. You can even still hear some of his dialogue from the former episode in the background during the new and louder voice-over...😅

In 2025, we're relying on Sci-Fi celebrities to fact check world power governments.

In between messages of love and memes and Star Trek jokes, are the diamond hard fact checks. @georgetakei was physically interned. He is telling the truth.

This timeline, I don't even
