Georgiou also got fridged for Michael’s character development. And then we follow Michael over the timeskip. Right out the gate, the universe exists to tell a story about Michael.

Having a good clone protocol is important. Rok had the right idea.

I hope Robert Beltran isn’t around next season. Surely they can recast Chakotay. Maybe give the role to an actual native turtle islander?

One trick is to tell stories that don’t go anywhere. Like the time I caught the ferry to Shelbyville? I needed a new heel for m’shoe. So I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. “Gimme five bees for a quarter,” you’d say. Now where were we? Oh, yeah. The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn’t have any white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones…

- Comment on Kate Mulgrew told Rick Berman she wanted a gay character on the Voyager bridge 5 months ago:
To be fair the blonde bombshell in a catsuit was initially nonbinary.
And then Janeway immediately gave it conversion therapy and told it to be a woman.

- Comment on Polisci 6 months ago:
No, it’s observation. An experiment involves manipulating an independent variable while controlling other variables. There’s none of that in space, not counting the ISS and Apollo. That said, you can still test hypotheses using observation. And that’s equally true in both astronomy and in social sciences.
- Comment on Polisci 6 months ago:
That’s irrelevant. Astronomy and polsci can both only test their hypotheses through observation.
- Comment on Polisci 6 months ago:
What are soft sciences supposed to do when experimental methods are either impractical or unethical?
Same thing astronomy did.
- Comment on Polisci 6 months ago:
Hey genius, if you need experimentation in order for a field to be a real science, then explain how astronomy is a science.
- Comment on Polisci 6 months ago:
It’s mainly called social science in my country.
- Comment on Polisci 6 months ago:
The same is often true of psychology, but psychology is clearly a science.
- Comment on It is apparently controversial 6 months ago:
For someone raised in a city, all bears are strange. Whereas, a man has to have some visible deviation from normal behaviour like a red armband or an anime porn hoodie in order to be strange.

- Comment on Self-balancing commuter pods ride old railway lines on demand 7 months ago:
These pods are only used on rails with very low ridership. They would switch to a train if ridership increased.
Look at it this way: you can have a train that has a capacity of 100 people, but it only runs once a day due to the low demand, and only 2 people want to ride it at that time of day…Or you can have 10 pods, which do not require as much railway maintenance, and they can carry the 10 people who actually want to use this railway, completely on demand.
Yeah, a train is better if you want to move ten thousand people a day at peak hour. But this is a cheaper way to move ten people at different times across a day. And it’s a cheaper way of inducing the demand that would justify the more efficient kind of expansion.

If you like the tactics soulism adds to the leftist arsenal, you should read the soulist manifesto at soulism.net. There’s only a few dozen of us, but after reading the manifesto, I saw some pretty huge failures in the mainstream leftist worldview. Most leftists want to win a material victory against Capital, but they categorically refuse to deconstruct the social reality created by Capital to control us. Socially, they’re reactive. They take the way their opponent describes the world at face value and only disagree when the scientific method disagrees. But most of our reality is social, not scientific, and the scientific method doesn’t help you with that. The mainstream right is much better at crafting realities - a process we soulists call magic - than the mainstream left is. Escaping the body prison doesn’t really help if you can’t even begin to challenge the mind prison.
