OK I haven’t seen the whole thing yet but I’m at the point of the video where I think she’s going to say “Solarpunk” and I’m excite!
OK she didn’t say it out loud, but there’s a pretty strong link between what she’s talking about (homeostatic awakening) and what Solarpunk is.
Good video. I watched a few others too and she did end up saying it in one of those (plus a little graphic) though I forget which.
I was having a chat with someone about how they are more “Star trek future rather than Solarpunk future”, and I found something off about it but didn’t really think about it, but it’s this. It’s the idea that the key conceit of Star Trek being they are exploring for the hell of it can’t really be true, and that exploration in itself is to try and get some dividend off it. Any “Star Trek future” which is not colonial is necessarily a Solarpunk future first.
Really cool and interesting video!
I also thought the Fermi Paradox was kind of weirdly colonial.
Hell I don’t even think we should be fucking with the Moon.
