I have been threatening you all with this piece for a while now, and it's here!
The folks at Heat Death have very kindly given me space to talk about one of the things that I find most fascinating about this genre; the way in which we unconsciously treat it as if it's "true" in a Platonic sense.

New, on Heat Death! Thrilled to run this absolute banger from @goldwagnathan.bsky.social, on the bizarre way that concepts from 20th century Golden Age sci-fi have lingered in the scientific imagination, despite never coming within spitting distance of becoming — what's the word? — real
The Fatal Allure of Yesterday's Tomorrows
On the dangers of seeing science fiction as a template for the future.

![What is the Planck's principle quote?
The physicist Max Planck wrote in his autobiography, "A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die" [10]. A paraphrase of this insight, "Science progresses one funeral at a time," is known as Planck's principle. 4 Apr 2022

"We're pro-immigration, we just need to make sure we can address the J̶e̶w̶i̶s̶h̶ Muslim question by outbreeding them to win over thoughtful cross pressured voters"
Obviously, we want more immigrants, it’s one of our founding principals, but we also don’t want things to happen that will set support for more immigration back in the long term
All that said, Twitter only allows editing in the 1st hour, so not easily done.

Asked how happy Keir Starmer is that Tommy Robinson is now backing his asylum plans, his spokesman replies that "the public can tell that the pace and scale of illegal immigration is out of control..."
"We must restore order... or we will lose public consent for giving refuge at all".
