What you gotta understand about SOPHONT’s politics is that all of it is downstream of a desire to fully actualize a future that looks like this.

It tickles me that making Wall-E is possible with today’s technology, trivial even, but making Eva is essentially impossible.

You can write essays, books even, on why the best robot for a given job is not necessarily humanoid, but this video I think does a better job than any of hypothetical essay or book on why humanoid robots are absurd.

This reminds me of a paper which found out which gene got knocked out in snakes to make them limbless, and they proved it by knocking out the same genes in mice. Lo and behold, the mice had no limbs.

So in 2007 it was discovered that French civil servant was missing 90% of his brain tissue and he managed to still have an iq around 70-80. Much to think about.

There’s not much evidence for this beyond corvids but I feel like it might be possible to fit something equivalent to a human mind in a volume smaller than a regular brain.
I’m of the opinion that sci-fi, especially soft sci-fi, should have vehicles or devices which look absolutely fucking stupid because of some in universe physical or technological constraint. Like this thing

A lot of sci fi has the issue where the writers often don’t understand what the appropriate scale of their setting should be. Remember in Star Wars how the Kaminoans were only making a few million clones troopers for the war?

Sometimes people try to highlight how cringe and bad weeaboos are by inverting it to be a Japanese guy aping American culture and it just never works since a foundational part of the U.S. is that nearly anyone can be an American. So a lot of Americans just think this is awesome.

solarpunk is missing a defining piece of media. cyberpunk had blade runner, which kicked off the genre with consistent setting and art style. solarpunk is missing imagined worlds that feel realistic and complicated in the way that real life is.

A common sci fi trope is to immerse pilots in a kind of breathable fluid to survive high gees for long periods of time. But the fluids typically used are very thick, like honey, which makes breathing laborious and creates a risk for pneumonia since it’s hard to get it out of the x.com/nickmmark/stat

Unless you have access to like, a frozen embryo of an extinct animal, “de-extinction” is not something you can do. All you’re making is a transgenic animal with mods that satisfy human sensibilities. You did not bring an extinct species back to life. You just made living paleoart

This is kind of beautiful actually. Like something from peak woke teleported to 2025. It’s anachronistic.
