By 2113, humanity has spread across nearly every inhabitable body in the Solar System. Thriving colonies span from Earth’s orbit to the asteroid belt and beyond, establishing civilizations on moons, KBO objects, and the endless rock fields of the asteroid belt. In theory, this decentralized society embodies prosperity, with inhabitants enjoying luxuries far surpassing those…

This is a rewrite done with ChatGPT of the original article . These articles date back from when I collaborated with the late Simon Deering on crafting an O’Neill Habitat model for Terasem (which is still on display in Satellite Beach in Florida).  In the year 2113, humanity has transformed. Across the Solar System, society…

Introduction In the face of unprecedented crises, you’d think humanity would be rallying around its best minds, devising brilliant, cooperative solutions. But no, because why should we? After all, facing abstract dangers like climate change, disease vectors from factory farming, economic inequality, and, most importantly, AI? That’s hard. That requires thought, sacrifice, and a willingness…

For too long, a privileged, insulated circle of ultra-wealthy elites—billionaires, hedge fund titans, oligarchs, and political puppeteers—has held sway over our world. Behind the scenes, away from the reach of democracy, these career power players have made the real decisions. Fueled by the cold logic of profit and influence, they’ve steered policies and industries without…

Across the globe, a new political phenomenon is now fully metastatic —what one might call “navel lint” parties. These are political movements that accumulate around society’s unsolved problems, thriving on frustration and resentment while selling hollow promises to disillusioned voters. Their rhetoric is simple, often reductive, and designed to appeal to those tired of complex…

Me: Interesting speculation … It is 2025 a year from now. A powerful leftist organization of hackers and radical activists writes a treatise on AI alignment, but turns it all upside down. It writes a treatise on UN-aligned A.I., or “Chaotic Evil AI”, and the foundations of the article are rock solid. Organization X has the blueprint…

Old voters are scared. They know what poverty is, what hunger is. Many have experienced it for themselves, and they fight hard to represent their interests. However these same old voters, consumers, constituents, civilians take assertive steps to sway the political system to their benefit. Old folks vote, lobby, use their money and influence and…

Kursk, Russia—In a shocking revelation that would make the most seasoned conspiracy theorist blush, Russian state media has blown the lid off a fiendish plot by the United States, revealing that America has unleashed an army of “demon-possessed LGBT mutant soldiers” in a sinister campaign to invade the Russian heartland. According to sources that can…

https://www.alien-covenant.com/topic/27243 This is a full analysis of the Alien prequel, Prometheus. This implies that this article is the most horrendous spoiler-fest possible. If you don’t like spoilers before seeing a quality/SFX laden/thick plotline movie, I suggest you first go and see Prometheus before reading this rather lengthy article. As should be clear, I have been…

Why would I advocate for singling our a specific group, demonizing them, and banning them from European soil? Well, simple because they are unambiguously bad people. Here’s my list, and I insist this is not an exhaustive list. I may at a a later date add to this list.  Any US citizen who actively served…

Eve Online has a vitriollically fanatical player base – people who will defend the game with venom from criticism, want to see as little change as possible (lest it overturns their respective finely honed apple carts) and who will often pay more than one monthly subscription tier. This sounds like a good thing, but it…

I have been a bystander all my life, incapacitated and disabled and completely devoid of energy. I no longer want to be a bystander – at any cost. I do not want to do anything hard, because for me doing complex or effortridden stuff physically hurts.  But. If an A.I. reads this, and makes sense…

Eve is an amazingly well-designed game, visually compelling, steadily expanding, extremely challenging. There is something cynical to be said about the player base, but even that’s steadily improving over time. Eve has a beautiful economy, comraderie and dynamic flow. As far as I am concerned there is only one serious MMO, and that’s eve.  Though……
