Teaching aid

It’s amazing what TV can tell us. On Thursday night, there was an episode of the SF series The Orville, in which the crew came across a huge spaceship containing people who had no idea they weren’t on a planet.
    There was an oppressive society controlled by a bogus religion with public lynchings solicited by the Boss. It was Iran. Our hero, the captain of the Orville, sorted out the broken society by getting one of his crew to open the ‘sun roof’ to let the people see the stars.
    And that's how Iran’s social problems can be solved. All the rest of the world has to do is work out how to open this broken state’s sun roof.
