Agree with space travel being retro-futurist fluff. It's very rich men badly remembering mediocre science fiction.

The US could lead the world in innovation in green technology but that's now tainted by wokeness.

Not really sure if he thought he was smart or got bad legal advice from coiners who figured he could get off scot-free because "crypto" and "harm reduction"

Free SFnal short story idea, came to me literally in a dream:

Dude is living his best life, beatiful house, beatiful wife, gets a job doing computer stuff "improving the world". But his big fancy work computer is wasting a lot of space so he reformats it/installs Nix, and suddenly everythings gone, all grey wireframe, no way out. Turns out he was given root to his own simulation and there's no backup.

Feels I should have read this somehwere but haven't read short SF in ages so...

people in the Russian-speaking EA community are all busy with other things.

i.e. working for Putin, running from Putin, or dying for Putin
