This is the (jane)way!

You don’t get it. If they really wanted to eat, they’d be rich.

Remember when Trump couldn’t stop talking about other people’s dicks? Yeah…

These billionaire fucks are completely delusional. They have to go.

It’s almost as if everything fascists claim others do is just projection.

Such a pity that they had to compress two seasons worth of story into one and when they wanted to do more, their giant Rome set burned down (ironic though it is).

Have you seen the Hitler youth?

Die Tyrannei des Schmetterlings (the tyranny of the butterfly) by German author Frank Schätzing. A sci-fi thriller in the same vein as John Chrichton about AI and quantum physics. A great page turner, although the flowery language sometimes comes across as a bit forced.

It is the goal. A technocratic version of it.

In 1913, Stalin, Hitler and Sigmund Freud all lived in the central part of Vienna.

I can’t speak for Italy, but Nazi Germany would have collapsed anyway. The whole system was entirely dependent on lots of foreign lending that Hitler had no Intention on paying back. He had also pissed off pretty much all international trade partners.

Germans as a whole were a lot worse off than before Hitler gained power, working a lot more for a lot less, with shortages of everyday goods left and right.

Fascism is inherently self-destructive, so that won’t happen. But the collapse will cost a lot of human lives.

It’s not even that climate measures are costly, they’re a net positive in the long run! But nobody is interested in the long run, because the filthy rich live in an alternate universe where they will live forever in luxury far away from the filth of the rest of us.

The sci-fi book Children of Ruin (sequel to Children of Time) covers this somewhat. There humans encounter a planet with a breathable atmosphere but with a toxic environment that slowly kills them.

An immortal character from Doctor Who also covered this. She chronicles her life in a library of diaries but also destroyed some of them when the memories were too painful (her own children dying of old age).

I think the biggest problem with immortality is memory. How long until you have literally forgotten the person you have been before. Is that person then truly you, or have you died somewhere along the way?

Daring today, aren’t we?

Our apparent addiction to plastics. Especially when diseases related to microplastic poisoning will become more widespreqd.

On the other hand, the two biologies could be so different from each other that they don’t interact at all.

CIA tried it with dolphins already.
