I've finished: Children of Strife by Adrian Tchaikovsky
What an incredible ride.
Building on the foundation set by the first three novels in the Children of Time series, Children of Strife can concentrate on the pivotal moments of Tchaikovsky's uplift universe.
The story follows a terraforming project from Avrana Kern's generation, a desperate colony ship from the ruins of old earth and a rescue mission from the Panspecific society set up by the sentient beings we know and love.
Children of Strife highlights the difference between earth's colonization project from the beginning of Children of Time, led by egomaniacal psychopaths with the egalitarian alternative established by the end of Children of Ruin / Memory.
It is a clear indictment of today's tech billionaire class and their aspirations to become humanities gods and saviors.

Neogene Uplift Of The Chiribiquete Tabletop Mountains In The Colombian Amazon And Its Paleobiogeographic Implications

H/T Richard F. Ott
“The Chiribiquete are table top mountains located deep in the Colombian Amazon and host many rare endemic species. Helanlin Xiang's work shows that the Chiribiquete Mountains likely upifted before the Early Miocene and could have acted as a long-lived stepping stone, connecting species in the Andes with the Guyana Shield…”

Greens didn't "seize" the vote.
Progressive British voters uplifted a progressive candidate, because voters REFUSE to be seized, taken for granted, and betrayed.
Britain wants an end to the Epstein Class just like everyone else.

"Real strength comes from helping others find their own." - Futurist Jim Carroll
Some thoughts for what is known as "Motivation Monday!"
Often, the best thing you can do to lift others is to lift yourself.
The best way to find some inspiration in your heart is to share some with others.
You'll always discover that the best way to have optimism about tomorrow is to help others find their own.
And when someone is down, you lift them by being ... up!

Now reading #StartideRising by #DavidBrin.
Only a couple of chapters into this 1980s novel, but I'm intrigued already. Humans have uplifted dolphins to equal intelligence with themselves and the focus is on a ship crewed and captained by dolphins, but with a handful of human crew.

I watched a documentary at an independent theater called “Big Medicine: York Outdoors” about the only Black man on the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Eight people recreated part of his journey and reflected on his experiences in this NPS film. #ParkChat #BlackHistory #CommunityPolls #Uplift

Book Review: Sundiver - David Brin
https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2021/06/book-review-sundiver-david-brin/
In all the universe, no species has ever reached for the stars without the guidance of a patron — except perhaps mankind. Did some mysterious race begin the uplift of humanity aeons ago? And if so, why did they abandon us?Under the caverns of Mercury, Expedition Sundiver prepares for the most momentous voyage in our history, a journey into the boiling inferno of the sun... to seek our destiny in the cosmic order of life.
An absolutely crackling sci-fi story. One of the rare novels which has the aliens being alien. No human-sized and -shaped creatures acting as thin allegories for human races.
It's always amusing seeing what writers from the 1980s predicted the future would look like. We get laser beams, retinal scans, and holography. But people don't have mobile phones and rely on landlines for calls! Important documents are printed off, and books have to be shipped across the solar system. They are charming anachronisms, and more than offset by the progressive gender politics and bonkers plot.
You may be familiar with this meme:

❤️ 334,099💬 745🔁 002:18 - Tue 30 October 2018In Sundiver, one of the characters literally says "The Sun is haunted." And so, off on a merry jape we go! Spaceships! Aliens! Intrigue! Laser battles! Constitutional politics about library archiving practices and the rights of indentured servants. There is a lot going on, but it's written in an episodic way to keep everything zipping along.
There's half a dozen books in the series, and I'm going to enjoy spacing them out.

LazyWeb! Someone told me about a sci-fi book series where species are ranked by how many degrees of separation they were from the founders of a galactic federation(?). Humans were the first species to have found their way there independently.
Any clues what book I'm on about? ❤️ 1💬 0🔁 110:11 - Wed 28 April 2021David R. MacIver
