Other good evidence for this is that after 50+ years of sending people to space, it's obvious that our minds are not well adapted to being in space

it helps a lot that repetition was a major theme of DS3. "see these guys who are so stuck in place they turned into trees?? that's you, the person who wanted DS3"

the appearance of Patches in Elden Ring had some good bits but was mostly negative. Where the game places the Claymore and Large Club is still pandering but is positive imho

we can turbocharge recycling if we have very cheap energy and better automation but you need both. it won't happen without energy cheaper than fossil fuel

the industrial age was about technology and engineering, but it also was about fossil fuel as a very cheap energy source. Amusingly, AI and solar power are going exponential at about the same time but they're basically unrelated

It's a shame I can't post a photo of my damaged phone since my only camera is the phone. (I'm getting it repaired today so it should be a minor inconvenience rather than a real problem)

Every time I walk past a torch in a video game a morose daemon in my brain thinks "either some drudge is meticulously maintaining this dungeon or that should have burned out ages ago"
