Strong points that I agree with, but Q’s temptations are also pretty weak when you remember holodecks exist.
Q keeps throwing “imaginary” women at Worf and Riker thinking that they can’t go to the holodeck and load up any number of “Barkley’s Follies” or “Beverly’s ghosts with the most” programs.
Sure makes dealing with a trickster god that will ruin you less appealing.
Now you have me wondering if the holodeck programs are free for all, or if private simulations are possible. The social ramifications of either are profound.
The federation prioritizes rights like privacy, so I’m sure you can have private programs. It’s a military vessel, so it’s likely there are caveats, but I think “private” is probally the default.
I also think Barkley and The Dancing Doctor are freaky enough to publically share their porn.

Geordi fell in love with the hologram of a simulated dead woman. It’s the wild west baby!
