I don't know why, but Frank reminds me of John Romero if John were retarded. Sorry John, you deserve better. John Romero deserves better, I mean. Not John Flynt. John Flynt deserves Frank.

Is this a death threat? Remember what happened to the last guy who tried to street race John.

I don't understand why feminism has lost its currency, John - who could possibly disagree with a movement about female empowerment that centers the demands of male sexual perverts in dresses?

I hate when he writes this kind of shit most of all maybe. Who the fuck is he talking to? What is he talking about? He would have zero clue if any of these conversations were going on already and here he's demanding others have them.

It's also absolute fucking gibberish. "I would propose that feminism needs to have a laser focus on policy and bringing together coalitions." Wow, thanks, now that you've said it "feminism" can get right on that. Will your regular tech column in a major publication provide any more ProTips like that so everyone stops making fools of themselves by just trying random sequences of words hoping something happens?

I certainly wouldn't want to task such an important and powerful thinker to provide any examples of policy ideas with some kind of laser focus of his own.

To be honest, that Godzilla pinball machine is downright terrific.

But it's also incredibly expensive. And I keep wondering how John thinks he's juggling an "everyman" persona at the same time as "that cool gal you know that has all the cool toys". The pinball machines and cars make him look like the 1% in an era where most people pretend to be poorer than they are to attain a slight shred of likeability.

For all their pictures of cars and toys, I never see any pictures where they're hanging out with friends. A house full of pinball machines should easily draw in friends and family... but nobody can stand them and it shows.

Holy shit did he not understand Okuda's tweet at all, despite that the fact that the first sentence contains the entire thesis. Okuda's a faggot but he's accurately pointing out that this notion of Trek isn't about saying "this is how the future will be" it's about trying to convince you of the possibility of action in the now through allegory. John instead starts talking about how The Expanse is somehow superior because it's exactly the same presumably. John then goes on to consider this to be confirmation of his deterministic view of history steeped in a counter Whig tradition that everyone else moved on from over a century ago.

His own thesis isn't supported either because Trek itself is full of cruelty, selfishness and self-destruction. (Just look at Janeway.) I don't know enough about The Expanse (either TV or novels, no points for guessing which one John is talking about though) but just to compare to one instance of Trek, the cold war setup in DS9 collapses into an actual war that leaves billions dead and nearly sees the extermination of two entire species. (The Founders famously try to exterminate the Cardassians but also the Allies try to exterminate the Founders. Twice. The latter would have sent nearly the entire Gamma Quadrant into complete collapse.)

As someone who is familiar with The Expanse, having just finished the last book in the series a couple weeks ago (bastards took a year and a half to do the paperback release), John's a retard. I'm going to spoil various parts about the setting and the ending, so if you have desire to read it without knowing where it all ends up, don't open the tag.
Basic premise at the start of the series is that humanity has taken a lot of its issues with it as it begins to expand through the Solar System (pun not intended). Mars declares itself independent of Earth and fights a bloody war to secure that, but Earth still views it as a hostile power and wishes to reclaim it. Then out in the Belt and beyond, those that grew up in space are treated fairly poorly despite the fact that they're doing a lot of the work to keep things running. So tensions are running high throughout the system, but the powder keg ignites when a megacorporation gets its hands on some alien gunk that does all kinds of weird shit and decides to let it infect a bunch of people for the hell of it.

I'm doing broad strokes here, but the situation keeps changing as major events play out. A ring gate is formed that leads to a whole extradimensional space with over a thousand other rings, and when they're all powered on, each one leads to a different star system. A gold rush occurs as people try to forge new lives on these new worlds. Terrorists drop rocks on major Earth cities (not from the Moon though) and devastate the planet. A Martian commander defects with a chunk of their navy and claims a system for his own, then returns decades later with alien-enhanced warships to create an interstellar empire. Forces from outside our reality begin to wreak havoc as they tear holes in the universe and make whole systems black out.

In the final book, you finally learn about who built all this technology and what happened to them. It was essentially a hive mind of fragile beings that used an alternate universe to power its technology and rip spacetime to link itself across hundreds of stars. Turns out that the beings of that universe didn't like it, making them go extinct but not before they powered down everything. Turning it back on got the other universe's attention again, so it tried to kill off humanity again. The emperor wanted to link humanity in a hive mind as well in order to successfully keep the other universe at bay because we're tougher than the original aliens, but the main protagonist decided that losing all individuality would sacrifice what it meant to be human, choosing instead to destroy the gate network and cut off all worlds from each other, even knowing that some of them wouldn't be able to survive on their own.

But the series ends on a positive note, following a timeskip of approximately a millennium. Humanity proves its resourcefulness, and a confederation of some of the surviving worlds has been set up, learning how to travel across the stars. An envoy from this confederation makes his way to Earth and begins the process of bringing them into the fold as well.

This single epilogue basically disproves John's hypothesis by itself. Yeah, there was a lot of pain and sacrifice along the way, and a lot of bad people did a lot of really bad things, and even at that point there's still work to be done. But the ending still says (to me at least) that humanity is more than capable of doing better and forging a brighter tomorrow. Nobody said it would be easy, but it can be done.
The non-spoiler version: while John isn't wrong that it's a lot of "good people doing the best they can with a shit situation," the overall story suggests that humanity on the whole will trend in a positive direction despite the bad that comes along the way. It's not as different from Star Trek as he claims; don't forget that they went through multiple world wars before their brighter tomorrow could happen. I guess when viewed from that lens, The Expanse is like if someone did a Star Trek series that was about nothing but WW3 and the Eugenics Wars. Pretty bleak, but there's a better future to come.

Are the moral dilemmas of humanity in the 21st Century more accurately addressed in a TV space opera or in a series of sci fi novels?

Deep Thoughts indeed, John.

It reminds me of the philosophical debates in the 1930s over whether the decade's zeitgeist was more accurately captured by Tarzan movies or the Green Hornet radio show.

read the book!?! WTF is wrong with you?? John's a non-reader and watched the TV show. He might even be able to identify some of the actors...as long as they aren't the wrong kind of ching-chong...cause a lot of those look alike to John.
and they are only human insofar as John can parade them around to say
hooray for "us" women, like me an actual women...really totally a woman

Will you be going to Saudi Arabia to launch a full-throated campaign against Wahhabism and the Saudi government then, John? I'm sure you will once you're done with your next video game.

Describing a purple-haired, exceptionally creepy looking trans woman as "smart" after she engaged her massive powers of ratiocination and decided to return to Saudi Arabia seems like a bit of a stretch to me.

And it surprises no one that quasi-illiterate John uses suicide as a verb.
