  1. @Lizette603_23 Seems like it to me. Never been. Have read #StandonZanzibar #SciFi #JohnBrunner where it was one of the worldbuilding bits that it would be. For 2010.

    I'd also think DC is anomalous.

  5. #Synthesis is a useful activity. In thinking, taking a couple of apparently unrelated pieces of knowledge and by combining them enabling an unexpected new thing; activity; business; thought ...

    As a full-time occupation of its own there are not many #synthetists.

    In #SciFi it crops up in #StandOnZanzibar by #JohnBrunner and #RiteOfPassage by #AlexeiPanshin the latter pointed out the need for another discipline, #Ordinology which I suppose is a blend of #library science and computation.

  9. 20 books that have had an impact on who you are. One book a day for 20 days. No explanations, no reviews, just book covers (don’t forget the alt text).

  12. Logic: The principle governing human intellection.

    Its nature may be deduced from examining the two following propositions, both of which are held by human beings to be true and often by the same people: "I can't so you mustn't," and "I can but you mustn't."

  16. We can halve the global population in four generations (three if we limit lifetimes as well), that's unlikely to be popular or achievable without architecting an entirely different global society and then gulling those generations into thinking it's for the Greater Good.

    We're currently adding another billion people every 12 years, the UN models the peak in the 2050's when it's around 10B. I doubt that will be pleasant. Only 250 years for Malthus to pay out.

  18. Just finished the third season of #Westworld and I have to say, I was very impressed. The #DarkSideOfTheMoon slipping into the soundtrack at the end. And the references to John Bruner's #StandOnZanzibar #SciFi novel. They really did their homework.
