Hugh HoweyVerified account @hughhoweyThose influences include the hedonism of cities, where so many foods, social connections, and types of entertainment can be enjoyed for little cost. And the expansion of women's rights and employment which is a large driver of reduced fertility rates.Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 10 likesShow this thread -

Doctor-Baron 17cShyteposter, DDS @17cShyteposterThis thread pretends to be a logical argument, but that's sheep's clothing for the moral argument that actually drives it: "No, you can't go live in space.

Doctor-Baron 17cShyteposter, DDS @17cShyteposterIt gives itself away in the conclusion: It's "fruitless" to try to leave. You're not allowed to remove yourself from service. You're *supposed* to be dedicating yourself to new social, economic, and political ideas—i.e. progressive ones. You're supposed to stay trapped here. pic.twitter.com/B4e7lTnHT0Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 4 likesShow this thread -

Doctor-Baron 17cShyteposter, DDS @17cShyteposterThe funniest part of his line of argument is that he's a techno-utopian. So it's not that we can't manage the tech. Therefore he has to come up with a line of argument for why no group would ever want to found a single colony "Well, it would be unpleasant. So no one would do it" pic.twitter.com/rpuftBbFsWShow this thread1 reply 0 retweets 6 likesShow this thread -

Doctor-Baron 17cShyteposter, DDS @17cShyteposterThe explicit goal is to funnel everyone into the cities, which he rightly recognizes as hedonism traps—but believes this is a good thing Underlying message is that the hives are going to take an immense amount of techno-brainpower to keep running.

Doctor-Baron 17cShyteposter, DDS @17cShyteposterIn a way, there's an extremely dark truth to this. He's picking up that we're being urbanized, domesticated, cut off from our deep biological impulse to explore, expand, and conquer. And he *wants* the Rat Utopia. The longhouse. Ballard's "High-Rise." This is his dream.Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 8 likesShow this thread -
24/ Also, note that Hugh Howey wants YOU to live in the cities, surrounded by swams of other people. Where does HH - rich from writing SF novels - live? Why on a yacht, by himself, so he doesn't have to live in the cities! https://www.sailingtoday.co.uk/cruising/cruising-stories/hugh-howey/ …pic.twitter.com/RMTEGHB41n

25/ Freedom-minded working class people have always chafed under the yoke and dreamed of Exit. Elites have ALWAYS hate idea of Exit. From sending bounty hunters after African slaves or Scots Irish who released themselves from indentured service under their own recognizance to >

26/ Lincoln killing off 3% of the US population to defend the sacred principle that every knee must bow to the federal government, the elites are NEVER willing to let people go. The hilarious thing tho is that HH thinks of himself as a prole revolutionary. He dislikes >

27/ rich people and their yachts (even as he lives on a catamaran and travels the world), because they physically reify a class structure, with hot tubs up top and kitchens below. ...as if HH living on a yacht and urban poor living in projects doesn't do the same!

29/ What percent of England's population had emigrated to North America by 1600? Did this mean that North America was a "graveyard", with no future?
