Eh, i think it's not really very different from believing that we're in the most advanced state possible for a civilization, or whatever. Neoliberal optimism and neoliberal pessimism are really right next to each other on the dial, if you see what i mean?

The whole point of Robinson's tweet, it seems to me, is just to suggest that believing in alien civilizations suggests that *another world is possible*. He's not actually presupposing any characteristics other than "not like neoliberalism"; the rest is wilful or stupid misreading
