"In the future, nobody will care."
I wonder if he had that idea before or after Patrick Stewart was cast as Picard.

/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

Fun will now commence.

Funny enough, I'm good friends with the woman who was the lead researcher of Proctor and Gambles' program for a hair growth product back in the 90's. Ultimately, P&G was forced to abandon the effort after many many years.
My friend stated she could grow hair on a cue ball. The only issue was the cue ball wouldn't survive the process.
Short story long... It is possible to cure male and female baldness. The only problem is the patient would not survive the toxic cocktail that growing hair requires.
...there's already a cure for this though? minoxidil, great for filling out beards
Minoxidil has a very narrow efficacy.
P&G's project was aimed primarily to cure baldness in.... Women and not men. Surprising I know, but back in those days baldness in women was viewed as a more lucrative target market. They were also going for much stronger and broader results than what Minoxidil generally provides in order to compete with it. Minoxidil was developed by Upjohn in the 50's.
i do recall hearing something about the head-hair results not being as effective as beard-hair result, something about different hair follicle types? just pulling from memory/personal experience though, no studies or anything
beard results do appear to be permanent, slightly less thick when you stop but long as you use it for a year or so it does seem to fill out a pube-beard permanently.
