@nicksortor These people are being paid. They're told to just go out and stir up shit and the wilder they shoot off their mouths, the bigger their checks. Just like Tucker and Candace.

@Augustusforyou @TaraBull Better to ask yourself why you'd spend four days trying...

@TaraBull Oh MY! Who wouldn't want to crawl into the sack with that?

@KatieMiller Type in "Mother and child" and you'll see lots of white mothers and children. Specifying the mother be white implies a difference from the child, at least to a logic driven search algorithm.
We don't need to find issues that aren't really there. Start with the obvious ones.

@bobbeddingfield @MarieleRedclaw We were assigned that book in a Science Fiction literature class at FSU in '78. It has always stuck with me as a glorious Tour de Force of the galaxy.

Ringworld (and the entire known space series) were also mind-blowing.

Read Star Maker : Star Maker is a visionary science fiction novel by British writer Olaf Stapledon, first published in 1937. It is widely regarded as a masterpiece of the genre, described by Brian W. Aldiss as "the one great grey holy book of science fiction" and praised by Arthur C. Clarke as "probably the most powerful work of imagination ever written."

The novel follows a nameless English narrator who leaves his physical body and journeys through space and time, merging his consciousness with alien civilizations to form a collective mind. As this cosmic awareness expands to encompass galaxies and universes, the collective eventually encounters the Star Maker, the creator of the cosmos, who is depicted not as a benevolent deity but as an indifferent artist assessing the aesthetic quality of his creations across multiple multiverses.

Themes: The book explores cosmic evolution, collective consciousness, and the philosophical relationship between creation and creator, tackling the essence of life and the scale of the universe.
Legacy: Stapledon’s work prefigured later scientific concepts such as Dyson spheres (credited to him by Freeman Dyson) and the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics.
Style: It is characterized by its philosophical and abstract prose, lacking traditional characters or plot, instead offering a "myth-making" vision of the physical and spiritual history of the cosmos.
Influence: The novel has inspired numerous prominent authors, including Jorge Luis Borges, Doris Lessing, and Stanisław Lem, and was referenced in the 1978 film Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

'I was eight, standing in a church hall in Arkansas, looking up at a South Vietnamese flag on a refugee’s lapel. I just wept and said “I’m sorry” over and over.'

Really? at eight? I was almost 15, and my family had accepted a 17 yr old refugee into our home. My father had served numerous tours in Viet Nam, Thailand and Korea, and we had accompanied him to Japan for three years in support of our efforts. But I never was brought to tears over his plight. Just realities of world conflict.

Methinks that despite the truth of your basic message, you protest too much. A little less Shakespeare, please.
