Is that... 5 AC10's in CT? Or a really weird looking RAC20?

I would suddenly feel very sad for the one of them that bottled it up for 40 years, and for the other who obviously has known for many of those years...

You know that shit's gonna peel like a boiled egg

I regularly hallucinate my code. I don't see the problem here /s

Underlegislation leads to a bloated, extortionate upper crust that weilds disproportionate power over those who rely on said financial system. There is a balance, and the problem you outline is the lesser of the two extremes.

That's just your Theatons talking.

That mentality is surely broader than fascism itself. You see it in any hypernationalist state. Rome had "the barbarians." The British Empire had "the savages." Nazi Germany had "the jews." There is always an "other" when the state needs it. Unless you're painting a broader form of fascism, perhaps.

Well, when IQ was invented, it was assumed that well-adjusted people generally had higher IQs, and since there -are- people with incredably inhibited mental capability, and those people -are- considered neurodivergent by definition, it was assumed that high functioning neurodivergent people must also be "mentally deficient" if they can't function properly in society, with some exceptions to savants who were recognized as being so highly capable in their field that it compensated for their "stupidity" in common matters. It's also noteworthy that public understanding of mental health disorders pre-80's boiled down to "r****d" and "schizo."

That's what you're hung up on? There's a whole subgenre of sharks with tits.

 

I'm looking to get inspiration for my own writing. I need a hard sci fi series where earth (and earthlike worlds) are too rare, inaccessible, and/or previously spoiled beyond ability to sustain life. Bonus points if it is set on a multi-generational space station or starship without any other options and goes into detail about life support, living space, mineral mining and expansion of the station to accomodate a growing population, and daily life of it's residents.

If anyone remembers Drifter Colonies from Titan A.E., that's what's in my head.

I'm looking for The Martian levels of realism, and I'm fine with a bit of "Unobtanium" clichés if they're not core to the story.
