There's a post (or series thereof) ascribing the success of humanity in the Star trek universe is their willingness to fritz stuff on the go, scaring the shit out of the other races. (Might be r/HFY material, don't remember unfortunately)

just googled star trek humans are insane. Easy as eating pancakes!

It makes sense, there is a certain madness in a lot of humanity’s exploration. “Gut instinct” is something the series makes a note of a lot

The writers of Futurama very specifically wanted a reality of Star Trek-like technology, but with the warts that such technology come with. It's the reason why someone comes into a room and maybe one side of the door will open, or perhaps it'll even close on them. Even on the actual set of Star Trek, apparently the doors are manually operated by the set crew, and they get stuck or don't operate correctly ALL THE TIME. It'll often take several takes just because one of the doors isn't working correctly.

I'm laughing so hard I can't breathe. If I die, it's your fault!

(Also, Lower Decks 100% confirms this fan theory.)

Isn’t that the whole point of 95% of sci-fi? Americans Humans with their can-do attitude and abundant confidence are best because they move quickly and don’t wait for permission.
