Ngmi is bay area VC nazi speak for ‘not gonna make it’, sometimes a noun (“all these NGMI’s on the street scare me”) as a way to separate themselves from the people they fuck over so they don’t have to feel anything
There’s a tendency among that same set to see their favorite scifi stories as ‘logic’ because of course nobody anywhere has had a moment of humanities efucation since 1914. It borders on mental illness.
Bacigalupi is a fiction writer whose biggest basic formula is ‘write a near-future extremely-pulp story with realistic/likely ecological devastation as the backdrop’ so he gets more taken more seriously than he should in all the ways hes not trying to and none of the ways he is. One of the better examples is ‘the water knife’ a pulp novel about a much later stage of the water wars of the american southwest. Kind of the same style as ‘blade runner 2049’ but that was a masterpiece, and hes just kind of okay but socially important.
Im pointing out that there are sociopathic assholes here who are totally willing to throw your¹ filthy texan life away for the same reason you’re¹ willing to throw all these poor people who need help under the bus.
