    I’ve made it to my mid 40s with full coverage. Not sure if I would shave it completely or go with a #1 or #2 all over when my time comes.

    I guess it depends on where/how it happens?

    There’s also the flip side of imposter syndrome.

    Inherent in the belief that people are going to figure out that you are actually a fraud, and really bad at something, is the implicit idea that all those other people are actually competent and good at stuff themselves.

    Here’s the thing - most of them probably aren’t. The older I get (mid 40s now…) the more I realize that incompetence is far more widespread than I used to think it was.

    This is not to give anyone an inflated idea of their own ability or intelligence, including myself! It’s just a reminder that, in most situations, the people whose judgment you are worried about are probably just as bad off as you are… and are probably worse!

    Yeah, I think it’s an open question as to when Starfleet knew about the Borg.

    It actually seems totally reasonable to me that the reports about strange cybernetic beings from Cochrane’s, and later Archer’s, time might not necessarily get connected to the El Aurian refugees or Picard’s first encounter with a cube.

    After all, the old reports from 150 years ago, from TNG’s point of view, only happened due to temporal shenanigans and would probably have been super-duper classified.
