Of course, what works for him won’t work for everyone.
Also i think he’s a bit too obsessed.

Haha

Half-agree w/ you. I mean u have a point, but even regular folks have some room for saying no. Just less than him.
Id be more nuanced on competition, which is partly mental.

Nice!

Indeed.

TY!

I prefer sci fi as an escape from reality, not as a confirmation that it sucks.

I wouldnt think of Chambers’ books as only escapism litterature, even though there’s nothing wrong in my book w/ escapism.
It is escapism yes, im in a tough spot now but at night i dive into her books and forget for a moment about troubles. But it also suggests that reality doesn’t necessarily sucks & won’t necessarily sucks.

D’you have some names?

Ah same, i really needed these books.

Man me too. So far i’ve read:

• The monk & the robots duology: amazing
• the first two books of the Wayfarers series: same, amazing
• To be taught, if fortunate: didn’t really get it.

Then i’ll dive into her short stories!

I overcame OCD by playing obsessively to Shattered Pixel Dungeon.

Agreed on everything except about bragging rights for sports. Yes that’s a bit dumb, but that was also magical. In this this vid you see one (right wing) kop singing along the other (left-wing) kop, before the ban:

Felt the need to share w/ my family. Amazing!

Yeah agreed, although i deeply believe that there will be human conflicts as long as there will be human beings. Watching the vid’ now.

Post-scarcity isn’t the end goal. People will always find reasons to fight. i don’t believe in perfection.
