Four hours ago, William Shatner posted this to the X:

my opening monologue on Star Trek TOS on Paramount+. They intentionally
garbled it on every episode because I say "where no man has gone before"
That's Presentism at its finest hour. 🤣”

Although Shatner walks on water, he glosses over some harder issues,
such as statues that toggle between 'history' and 'admiration'.
