NOTE: “Catspaw” is the one and only Star Trek Halloween special. The story is an encouraging fairy-tale portrayal of life’s basic problem and how to solve it. The problem is that we are run by biology to care and suffer. The solution is that biology is epiphenomenal. Negentropic machines create problems that only exist negentropy. Value comes into existence. Value is our attraction to what is pro-survival.
