History shows you can't find language for substantive responses to women and minorities getting the shaft that won't get demonized like "woke" was. If you're not gonna just throw these people under the bus you stick to your guns and and stop letting the right tell you what language you can't use.

No, you get to the end of Asimov's last Foundation and *surprise* the robot from Caves of Steel has been running the secret Foundation and controlling humanity's conquest of the galaxy following the Zeroth Law of Robotics

It's worse than that. The actual 0th Law Asimov devised in later stories was do what is good for "humanity" rather than particular people, leading to robots as our secret rulers with the kind of morality "Effective Altruists" use to say: ignore present problems; focus on conquering the Galaxy

The "No-SUV" section of airplanes is a joke. You shouldn't be allowed to drive an SUV *anywhere* in an airplane. And we need some kind of SUV-detection system for the lavatories.

Amazing how Eliza creates fresh dread for a 2000-year-old horror concept. Somehow more credible the universe could work *that* way plus the horror of "not just a statistic."

I love The Power Fantasy. I've been a fan of a lot of your books but I feel like I'm getting to see you COOK like you've never cooked before.

Is your thesis that most industries set prices based on what the market will bear but that the games industry sets prices based on Reddit comments or something?

Canonically, that's why nobody can sail from England to the Elven Undying Lands. Our ships keep following the ocean around to the other side of the globe instead of sailing straight West like the Elves did.

This is good. When we have lots of choices, the top 10 will be very homogeneous. The only way "Classical Gas" can be a hit song is if it's the only guitar instrumental available so anyone who likes guitar has to listen to that one song. Nowadays guitar fans have thousands of songs to choose from.

It ain't hustle culture. It's big business knowing they're allowed to get kids hooked on Red Bull and having way more marketing muscle than the peers trying to get them to drink beer. Teens I see hooked on Monster drinks aren't using them to hustle.

Maybe God created the best possible world and then also the 2nd best and the 3rd best until he got to us and created us as well because he loved us and we wouldn't exist in any of the better worlds.

Outer Wilds was so perfect there was no possible way to add anything or make a sequel, and then they did. The DLC was astonishingly good.
