      Chuds like him think the future will have lots of exciting bazinga tech but nothing about society's structure will change or improve, even somewhat. That would make him too uncomfortable. grillman

        There's a writer called John C Wright and you can read the narrowing of the Basinga's hope for the future from libertarian hyper optimism and pretensions to godhood, to vaguely tradcath "we're all part of a Noosphere communion of all humanity but everyone is somehow still in capitalist patriarchy 200,000 years from now" to "The future will be exactly like today but with bigger guns."

            It's just so shocking how they went from "Jupiter Brains! Entirely new non-neurotypical ways of mind! Complete and total gender and Morphological freedom! Spend a year as a Tree for tax reasons! To "I only suck the blood of the young from women because to do it from the same gender is woke actually"
