    I really hope the pendulum swings the other way in the future and we become the most Woke society imaginable.

        Historically, every time there’s been a push towards progress, there’s also been a push back by all the cockroaches that consider tradition the ultimate model for self expression, which is where we are now. Usually after some violent struggle of a variety, the progress wins out eventually. Hopefully this is not an exception, but we might not see it in our lifetime.

          no, this is a classic fallacy in historiography.

          things don’t just happen. we have to choose to do them, first.

          your thesis ignores… every single time in history progress didnt “win out.”

          saying “progress wins out eventually” is unfalsifiable because the only true constant in this universe is change. you’re like, not technically wrong but the statement is so detached from the human experience as to be meaningless. this type of analysis isn’t welcome in academia for a reason.

          in other words. get out there, there’s work to do!

      I personally hope it gets bad enough fast enough for Elon to decide to go personally pioneer his Mars base. I would give anything for a live feed of him trying to survive a hundred million miles away from the rest of us

        They want to put nukes in space, that is the main goal of the Mars thing. They say they want to detonate 2 nukes on Mars poles to start it rotating - this a lie which is a cover for them wanting to develop technology to put nukes in space to threaten us all, while SpaceX and Bezos have their rockets to save some select few. He was never going to terraform Mars. Ever. He can’t even build a train here.
