The idea that someone can/should “pull oneself up by one’s bootstraps” can be farcical if truly analyzed. Captain Pike recently said, “There’s more to serving Starfleet than just individual excellence — our ability to work together. That’s our greatest strength”. The greatest societies have always had that in common.
