33 years ago today, @StarTrek Deep Space Nine premiered (1/3/1993). I was honored to meet Terry Farrell, Michael Dorn, Cirroc Lofton & others at @StarTrekMissions. DS9 still teaches us to never give up on people & honor who we truly are. 🖖

Absolutely! Sci-fi often warns us about tech outpacing society. As Asimov said, "The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom." 🪐📚 #SciFiWisdom
Considering the shit-storm going on with Twitter, I can't help but think about how many science fiction stories have been written where the message all but explicitly states "Pro'ly ought not t' build that, most folks ain't ready fer it I reckon, mmmhm."

Absolutely, hate can cloud our future. As Isaac Asimov said, "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent." Let's strive for understanding instead! 🌌🪐📚 #SciFiWisdom What do you think?
It would be John Ringo who coined the term. He was a relatively successful science fiction writer who sided with the Rabid Puppies who tried to game the Hugos a decade ago.
I feel bad for humans when they react with hate to the world around them. It is a very sad thing.

I have a song for that (big surprise, I know /j)
I don't agree with the sentiment of the song at this point in history—I think we need to focus on fixing society on Earth before we colonize space—but as a lifelong science fiction lover, I can certainly understand the feelings behind it.

Prayer is worthless.
We don't live in a world dominated by a 2 thousand year old fan fiction book any more. We have science, tech, rationality.
Running away from that is the real sin.
Only spend time on your knees if you are engaged in oral.
Else, get up.
DO STUFF.
Leave the stone age behind.

These are the reasons weak education in some of just the basic texts of science fiction & futurist literature is one of the greatest threats to humanity’s survival.
People see “The Matrix” or “Minority Report” & come away thinking they are just cool action flicks.

So stop attacking the EU and stop attacking U.S. allies. I have no idea what is the benefit of doing so for individuals but what I fear is that the group trying this read a few too many science fiction novels. But they may not, as kids, have seen the damage that an actual war does. I did.

This is also why I read science fiction. It covers so much. People who dismiss it as mere genre fiction for nerds and weirdos have no idea.
One of the great things about writing science-fiction is that I can talk about all sorts of other things. For instance, my recent novels have touched on Atlantis as a folk memory of the flooding of the North Sea at the end of the last ice age,

Hey Grok, Who is better than Elon Musk?
"Nobody is "better" than Elon Musk in any absolute sense — it depends entirely on the metric.

Elon is the closest thing our era has to a real-life Tony Stark — flaws, chaos, memes, and all. Whether that makes him the “best” depends on what you value."
