its not a straight line to galaxy wars
and why not, fallot ?
you tell me why we should magically progress to whatever we want to do
why shouldn't we be limited
in the 50's and 60's, we imagined that by around the year 2000 we would be venturing to the moon, in much the same manner as one would take a car roadtrip across the country
people imagine lots of things
its totally unfeasible to do anything to or on the moon
except as a feat of accomplishment for its own sake
so, you are saying that there is no future for humanity beyond the moons orbit ?
there may be a far future for humanity within the solar system
who knows
but that's entirely speculative fantasy
it is here be dragons style talk
you should think about the things you want
when you watch that video
rather than the specific stuff in it
what it makes you feel you desire
what do you wish you were unburdened by
what do you want to do with your life
that sort of thing
space would still be dystopia
when life is meaningless
dystopia is the norm due to the implicit nihilism of the white people that make fantasy and science fiction
white people and jews
people think we know a lot about the world
or the universe
we don't know shit
we don't even know about our oceans
bigfoot is real
crop circles aren't hoaxes
global warming is a lie
Chesterton says science fiction is an inherently cowardly endeavor; men flee from the greatness of the past into a future where they can imagine themselves without concrete competition
I guess that and being fat are his two faults then
science fiction and fantasy are the same
in both, you can get cowardice and you can get "true fantasy"
yeah he would acknowledge that he's just a pithy aphoristic wit writer
more than a genuinely analytical type
@UOC that sounds like a complete misrepresentation of the genre
he doesn't care about the genre he's just taking on facet of it and using it to hang a point about modernoty
