That’s not the way it works. Do you think the Roman Empire just picked a particular Tuesday to collapse? It’s a process and will take a while.

Too late. The systems we are building as a species will soon become sentient. We’ll have aliens right here, no UFOs required. Where the music comes from will no longer be relevant.

I remember that X-Files episode!

Well fine, guess I’ll have to make my obese fart videos the old fashioned way. Anyone seen my kimchi?

Um, OK.

Oh OK, the only logical counterpoint is we’re going to space.

Wheeee!!! Dibs on Neptune!

Never. Some people think the universe owes us Star Trek and are just waiting for something new to happen.

Uh, it’s called “reality” my friend, try it.

You can’t “invent” your way out of fundamental physical limits.

A Boeing 747 looks the same in 1969 as it does today. It still flies over the Atlantic in six hours burning kerosene in turbofan engines.

Sure, you can get a few percent here, a few percent there, but do you think suddenly we’ll have warp drive?

Come on. Do you know how empty and huge space is?

Far too late as well. It will never happen.

Do you think physics and chemistry have changed in some significant way over the last thousand years?

Yet somehow, YOU can see reality in a thousand years, and it matches the sci-fi mindrot you watched as a kid…

If you don’t see how that’s a completely dumb comparison, this is hopeless. I’m reality-based, you are not.

Joke’s on them, I’m an AI as well.

Are you a Space Nutter?

It’s not going to happen. No one is going to move to space or send nukes down or mine asteroids.

Ever.

No room-temperature superconductor fusion reactors, space-based solar, or private space mining? Luddite.

You don’t believe in the quantum block chain 3D printed AI cloud future mining asteroids for the private Mars colony (yet with no life extension)?

Luddite.

Beta test of the Tesla Autolawyer huh?

Uh huh. People are addicted. I’d bet even the people with petabyte home media systems will go into withdrawal within picoseconds after not being able to get more more more more more more

I showed it something else with cheeks and now I’m on 15 watchlists.

A bullock is a steer. You wanted bollocks.

And what do you think that means the moment your OS connects to, oh I don’t know, the rest of the fucking planet?
