Speculative fiction, political motivation... downvote from me.

then stay put, we'll all be fine without speculation.......

The problem lies in the ability to keep the climate for progressive research going, which means that the arcane, third-world, no-reformation-having motherfuckers on the planet, need to keep up, or be made to comply, through reason, not rhetoric, and by any means necessary.....which means we need to get rid of cunts like the repubs-democraps, in this country, and stop pretending one is better than the other....and make the money fucks listen to the money makers.....we the sheeeple

Is that goddamn simple-minded and conservative enough for yall'??? Otherwise, you can talk till the cows come up missing, about why GW bush is a satan-worshipper

or how many greeeeeaaaat things some vapid bitch like Clitless or Obrahhma will do....they can all kiss my politics loathing ass........
We could fast-track the progress to 1st world, if we would pay attention to what really matters.....it ain't health care, minimum wage, or campaign finance reform.......

It's the resource-wrangling money makers who made the third world what it is. If the reformation of third-world countries is so important, we shouldn't have any third-world countries at this time.

By deciding 'repubs-democraps' are out, haven't you decided to pretend one form of government is better than the other? Silly wishful thinking. Silly human! As long as psychopaths are the ones in charge there's no end to this corrupt system. And where there's power, that's where you'll find the psychopaths: doing what they do, which means weaving illusions around themselves and destroying anyone who dares to pull back the curtain.

Money, is part of the current paradigm's modus...as is the use of natural resources for power-
As soon as we harness the energies around us that we can use for power, there will be no need for money, power will be readily available for creating the climate for research which will take us there.....

Some believe we have already developed technologies that will give the world free energy, but that a few and powerful keep the knowledge for them and theirs....

Not so strange when you follow the money trails in the world........Changing an administration or system of control in a linear fashion, (i.e. what the world does now), will do nothing for exponential progress......it is what makes one cringe with the realization that domesticated primates are unconscious and developmentally disabled for the most part, and easily led.....

a revolution, however, is a catalyst for both change, and consciousness raising.....bit of pain and suffering to go through, but turn on the TV and ask yourself, "How much pain and suffering can one stand, without having to have a transfusion?"

Can't wait for the next wave of discovery, m'self....Has to be as big an effect as splitting the atom.....Nanotech, perhaps.....

Give me the string on that curtain, but not the keys and the synchronized switches....the bunker is not finished yet....

Amen.

So I'm wondering how the Ewoks beat down the Empire then....

Nice little chat but the desire to slap numbers on things ignores complexity ("type one culture" anyone?). I'm pretty sure there are many places on earth where Hollywood stars would go unrecognised.

Interesting tip about the film 2001: A Space Odyssey at the end.

Great post, very interesting facts on 2001' towards the end there.

This is why 2001 is still the greatest sci-fi movie of all time, and one of the only true "hard" sci-fi movies. I absolutely adore it.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Agreed. Amazing that it was made in 1969 - and it still holds up. >> ^budzos:
