Someone did a screencap to the folder Soong pulls out of his proverbial closet, and I think I got the implication wrong, because the folder is clearlz dated to the 1990s, see here> https://twitter.com/gaghyogi49/status/1522652668338098178?s=21&t=JMdkM8dKWRNuMqV0-5kDIw

However, the Strange New World plot, which I watched before the Picard finale, does retcon the Eugenics War as having happened not in the 1990s but in the 21st century and essentially being a part of WW3. Now, it could be something like the waz some historians have declared WW1 and WW2 being essentially a new Thirty years War, with an interwar period. But I doubt that the PIcard and the SNW writers don‘t talk to each other.

Anyway, back to Soong and the Khan file: Adam Soong is old enough in 2024 to have been active and working in the 1990s, so presumably he was at the very least involved enough in whatever went down to have access to the material. So maybe the idea is that Khan, personally, was around in the 1990s, but the larger Eugenics War will be kicked off (again?) in the 2020s?
