  • So glad I avoided it. Tickling the chin of space cadets who blame things like LBJ’s great society for the fact we’re not mining asteroids and living on Mars or whatever was never going to end well.

    Fight me but the only justification to send people into space is body horror research on otherwise talented astronauts. I know people say “do both lol” and just blame the MiC but the time of researchers and engineers is a limited resource and “spin-offs” could have been achieved through basic research.













  • I don’t think the cretin making the post on reddit-logo can adequately explain why they are so terrified without resorting to blatant racism and westoid fantasies. But the existential crisis for the west is that capitialism has run out of road with data, attention and platforms the last all important commodities to shape and dominate what is left of the economy. Your attention is a zero sum game for them and the data is the all important fuel.

    The majority of people have huge data footprints with fragments of themselves everywhere. Yet is there any real example of blackmail with all this data? I remember reading a quater of Soshana Zuboff’s Surveillience Capitialism before I could take no more of needlessly prolonged lib storytelling. Are there any worse examples of this specifically ruining somebodies life other then a ruined engagement? Like if somebody who made it to the end of that drivel enlight us that would be great or correct me where I am worng about data.
