“Dude, how many layers of Weird Near-Future Sci-Fi Politics are you on right now?”
“I dunno, let me go consult the chart.”

* completely sober at 3 in the morning *
Also me: what fam?
Me: aight, so we like, do the expanding brain meme, but for national technocr- i mean uh expanding the search space of solutions to near-modern political problems, and the punchline is ~nuclear moon base~
Also me: hahahaha politics amirite?
The central thesis of this blog is that we won’t find the solutions to the challenges of the 21st century by re-fighting the battles of the 20th century. We are doing current politics and it’s having the current results, but we all want something better, and that necessarily means something different.
The current political ideologies are mostly unaware of the future and the ways in which it will likely dramatically upend them. Not only are they not prepared for its problems, but they aren’t prepared to take advantage of new potential solutions, either. And without acknowledging those solutions, they often pretend that the problems don’t exist, for ideological reasons.
Some of the proposals on here some fake, but each could be a real policy with more detail.
