Not everything that sounds futuristic actually is. Biohacker techbros have hijacked too much of longevity discourse and skewed our priorities for biomedical research — misdirecting the attention away from the solid science towards escapist fantasies.

Who defines what we consider future worthy? Whose values & priorities are assumed to be the default?
& How it can misdirect us away from what IS futuristic to what simply appears futuristic.

Scifi doesn’t always open our imagination, it can also narrow it down:

This is so illustrative why state funding of biomedical research (& tech) is vital & should not be left entirely profit driven venture model:

Dystopia as product roadmap: America prototypes its fictions so it can live them

America is a superpower & now it also very much a superproblem. Russia, although NOT a superpower, remains a superproblem. Don’t equate lack of constructive capacity with lack of destructive capacity. Think of how jointly, the superproblems amplify & multiply.

Mind you, Asimov the “great Scifi author” was a sex pest, yet one of his best insights was not about robot futures but about the human futures of USA & its hatred for intellectualism in favor of cheap scams

Disgusted by Varoufakis (supposed extreme leftist) carrying water BOTH for extreme right le pen AND erdogan!!!!! Comparing le pen’s charges & judicial process to imamoglu’s is beyond insulting. Truly gross political cosplaying that seems lunatic unless seen as paid for by the Kremlin all along

Biology, rather than silicon or rockets, is the real future frontier. We urgently need to emancipate ourselves from the outdated future fictions & the tech gazillionaires that are holding us hostage to them.

Informative episode on the current Ukraine-Poland disagreements. Kremlin is trying to weaponize the historical trauma with its usual divide & rule tactics. To give into it, is to serve straight into Russia’s hands, with dire consequences to us all:
