    By whose standard? Why does that person/group have the authority to impose their standards on other races? If it is might makes right (Q race being more powerful), that in itself is similar enough to the core argument that it calls into question whether the argument is valid to begin with.

    Q makes a lot more sense if you consider the whole thing to be a charade. He doesn't have any intention of killing Picard or any of his crew, or even stopping them on their mission. He does want to put on a show for the rest of the Q continuum to demonstrate the humanity won't revert to their worst impulses under stress.

    Likely, what he ultimately wants is a solution against the Borg. They're a tricky one for the Q to deal with in more direct ways. Something like how Gandolf can't directly attack Sauron at full power, because when gods fight, the world tend to break apart.

    Well, races are made by breeding individuals in order to create a group with common traits (such as bulldogs, for dogs). And so it implies livestock...

    Humanity isn't the livestock of some intelligence that would control its breeding.

    Therefore, humanity is a crual and savage wild specie...

    I fucking love Q. At first I hated him, hate, hate, hated him. And then it started to develop into more like disliking him and then, one day, I realized that beyond hate, I could actually love this guy. And so I do. Beyond a shadow of a doubt.
