its not a straight line to galaxy wars

2017-08-13 00:12:27 UTC  

and why not, fallot ?

2017-08-13 00:12:44 UTC  

you tell me why we should magically progress to whatever we want to do

2017-08-13 00:13:05 UTC  

why shouldn't we be limited

2017-08-13 00:13:17 UTC  

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

2017-08-13 00:13:29 UTC  

people imagine lots of things

2017-08-13 00:13:39 UTC  

its totally unfeasible to do anything to or on the moon

2017-08-13 00:13:51 UTC  

except as a feat of accomplishment for its own sake

2017-08-13 00:14:27 UTC  

so, you are saying that there is no future for humanity beyond the moons orbit ?

2017-08-13 00:14:46 UTC  

there may be a far future for humanity within the solar system

2017-08-13 00:14:50 UTC  

who knows

2017-08-13 00:15:01 UTC  

but that's entirely speculative fantasy

2017-08-13 00:15:11 UTC  

it is here be dragons style talk

2017-08-13 00:15:43 UTC  

you should think about the things you want

2017-08-13 00:15:46 UTC  

when you watch that video

2017-08-13 00:15:56 UTC  

rather than the specific stuff in it

2017-08-13 00:16:03 UTC  

what it makes you feel you desire

2017-08-13 00:16:13 UTC  

what do you wish you were unburdened by

2017-08-13 00:16:18 UTC  

what do you want to do with your life

2017-08-13 00:16:20 UTC  

that sort of thing

2017-08-13 00:17:29 UTC  

its a sad future then, and no real wonder why dystopia is nowthe norm for future tales

2017-08-13 00:17:50 UTC  

space would still be dystopia

2017-08-13 00:17:52 UTC  

when life is meaningless

2017-08-13 00:18:12 UTC  

dystopia is the norm due to the implicit nihilism of the white people that make fantasy and science fiction

2017-08-13 00:18:17 UTC  

white people and jews

2017-08-13 00:19:58 UTC  

people think we know a lot about the world

2017-08-13 00:19:59 UTC  

or the universe

2017-08-13 00:20:02 UTC  

we don't know shit

2017-08-13 00:20:05 UTC  

we don't even know about our oceans

2017-08-13 00:20:15 UTC  

bigfoot is real

2017-08-13 00:20:23 UTC  

crop circles aren't hoaxes

2017-08-13 00:20:32 UTC  

global warming is a lie

2017-08-13 00:23:05 UTC  

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

2017-08-13 00:23:23 UTC  

I guess that and being fat are his two faults then

2017-08-13 00:23:44 UTC  

science fiction and fantasy are the same

2017-08-13 00:23:54 UTC  

in both, you can get cowardice and you can get "true fantasy"

2017-08-13 00:26:15 UTC  

yeah he would acknowledge that he's just a pithy aphoristic wit writer

2017-08-13 00:26:23 UTC  

more than a genuinely analytical type

2017-08-13 00:26:32 UTC  

@UOC that sounds like a complete misrepresentation of the genre

2017-08-13 00:28:13 UTC  

he doesn't care about the genre he's just taking on facet of it and using it to hang a point about modernoty
