I think Isaac Asimov is becoming the most important author I have read in years

- "Why the need for such perverted Faustian spirit of interplanetary expansion?" - "BECAUSE IT'S SO MUCH FUN JAN GET IT!!!"

Science fiction has always been political. Gibson’s Neuromancer was a warning about corporate power, not a pitch deck. Stephenson’s Snow Crash was satire, not strategy. Asimov’s Foundation explored the limits of individual genius and the necessity of democratic institutions. Star Trek imagined overcoming capitalism, not retrofitting it with better spaceships. This sci-fi orientation has deep roots. In the 1990s, science fiction fans, transhumanists and cypherpunks overlapped in online communities like the Extropians and the Cypherpunks mailing lists, laying conceptual groundwork for technologies like bitcoin long before the 2008 financial crash made cryptocurrency seem necessary. The computer engineer Wei Dai, whose ‘b-money’ proposal directly influenced bitcoin’s design, was active in both communities. The digital future wasn’t being debated in policy circles. It was being imagined in forums where people discussed Vernor Vinge’s 1993 essay on the technological singularity and Neal Stephenson’s Cryptonomicon (1999) – a novel depicting cryptographers creating digital currency – alongside actual code. Taken together, these cases converge on what I call ‘reactionary futurism’: the deployment of science-fiction aesthetics to advance anti-democratic political projects. It uses the chrome-plated aesthetic of the new to engineer a return to an idealised, brutal past – 19th-century frontier capitalism with radical individualism, unregulated markets, and rejection of democratic governance, but armed with 21st-century drones and algorithms. Thiel’s 2009 essay makes this explicit. After declaring freedom and democracy incompatible, he concluded: ‘The fate of our world may depend on the effort of a single person who builds or propagates the machinery of freedom that makes the world safe for capitalism.’ Not democracy; capitalism. And not collective effort; a single person. It is the Foundation narrative, the Hari Seldon myth, the lone visionary who sees what the masses cannot – stripped of the democratic institutions Asimov built that myth to defend. The central question isn’t whether science fiction will shape reality – that process is already underway. The question is: whose version will prevail? https://aeon.co/essays/silicon-valley-has-a-science-fiction-problem

I'm so lit I can stop a train full of hoes and baddies They call me Rizz-ali khajavi

Is this the most powerful and fearsome diagram of all time? Even simply looking at it is enough to make billions recoil in rage and despair. Just like The Yellow Sign from The King in Yellow, it fills powerless subjects with obsession, paranoia and even madness. It's no wonder some call it a demonic sigil, unleashing chaos over the world.

hehe sorry wrong diagram
