I would say his pivot to culture wars is in part because he wants to distract people from his promises. I don't think there is much more he can offer in the name of perverted progress. He already has his hands in spacex, hyperloop (RIP), neuralink, his garbage LLM called grok. Even the most highlighted promise of his, electric vehicles, has been a failure in both quality and proliferation. So he has turned into a kkklansman pope hide the fact that he is a huckster.
I always wondered why Amazon picked up the show, but that'd make sense. I don't remember if immortality/an extremely long life was possible within that universe, though.
It is kinda. Saying how or why would spoil the series, it's not really a good thing though
The average human on earth in the expanse can live to a hundred and thirty quite comfortably, the rich and the martians considerably longer and in more comfort.
sometimes at night, i look at the stars in the sky; thinking about all the unexplored habitable planets out there and the to be horrific deaths in the space mining industry because the space capitalists didn't have to pay attention to OHSA in international space
I have hope that capitalism will destroy us all before we infect the wider galaxy with it.
I didn't like the way The Dark Forest, the second Three Body Problem book, portrayed this. ”Of course there's no intelligent life out there, because they'll just be destroyed by a more advanced civilization once they find out, because everyone is always hostile to each other. This also extends to the last remnants of humanity in space killing each other.”
To be fair to the TBP trilogy..

Some civilizations have been fighting an endless transdimensional grudgematch to the point that successive inevitable dimensional collapses purge all the races that aren't hyper survivalist and also hyper advanced. The trisolarans are an example of a primitive civilization who's experiences have somewhat mirrored this extremely poisoned outlook.
Communists do the best sci-fi and proper alien aliens. China Mieville's Embassy Town being a great example.
I don't know if Ursula Le Guin was really a communist, but she wrote some good aliens.
Certainly so some of her books featured communism or communal societies quite heavily. I'm pretty sure she would have been, or anarchist
Elon Musk said he's 'definitely going to be dead' before humans go to Mars
OK, then I hope it happens two days from now and you die tomorrow.
Talking about Game of Thrones without using any of
? You're slipping, UlyssesT.le epic SV scenes that were only slightly aged up from the book's context to begin with
The first rape scene wasn't even in the book, it was originally written as "consensual"
That kinda sucks. My lifelong dream has always been to step onto another planet. I didn't expect it to happen by 2040. It would've been nice, but the dream seems dead now.
Every bad news about capitalists space programs is a good news for humanity.
Yes, i just want to point that at this stage not even geniunely good and impressive initiatives like Webb telescope are justifying any of it. No, porky and their pet uncle Sam get face in mud in gulag, should not look up and think how to monetise the space.
u gonna eat your words once CNSA puts a person on Mars in less than 20 years.
