      I'm saying Star Wars is capable of being deflated. i.e., it absolutely does not necessarily cost four billion dollars in material expenses at fair value to bring a movie into existence. It is UNnecessarily expensive compared to space investigation, which is NECESSARILY expensive

      Well sure But if you try to cut out the money people in our society generally spend for bullshit capitalist market reasons that's a tremendous amount of money, arguably almost all of it

      Yeah, which is why even if the price tag itself is symbolic I'm much more annoyed by the amount of manpower and natural resources and fuel that gets dedicated to throwing a bunch of junk into the sky with no payoff and no return so that a nerdy guy can get his science boner

      Well yeah but again it's really a tiny drop in the bucket And it comes from an implicitly neoliberal mindset of putting publicly funded projects under special scrutiny while acting like we have no say in what private sector capitalists do with "their money"

      Sure, but I'm against any body, public or private, spending over a billion dollars on something to this effect I'm not bothered by who's doing it; I'm bothered that it's being done, period Nobody, anywhere, on this planet, should be putting a camera on Venus. It's pointless

      To me it's kind of the equivalent of those TikTok housewives who videotape themselves committing massive food waste to produce cringe for their own amusement, but exponentially more expensive

      I mean yeah I get that But at the same time I gotta point out that like the local Safeway throws dozens of times as much food in the dumpster every day, due to inefficiencies in the supply chain driven by perverse incentives In a way that amuses and delights no one

      This is kind of like the Discourse over Phoebe Bridgers smashing a guitar on SNL and all these people going "I'm poor and I can't afford to buy a guitar and this comes off as very privileged"

      Steve Martin's play Picasso and Einstein at the Lapin Agile was about this theme Art and science in their pure form are not "for" anything Artists and scientists alike get pissed off if you ask what their work is "for", as different as they may be in other ways

      Like yes a scientist's work can be taken by an engineer and used to improve the efficiency of vacuum cleaners, and an artist's work can be taken by a marketing guru and used to make a more effective magazine ad for those vacuum cleaners

          But they'd both get really mad if you said this whole business is the *purpose* of what they do As opposed to them reluctantly letting the money people have a seat at the table to keep Society off their goddamn back

          Can confirm. I mean obviously there are many good things to spend money on. But without the thirst for knowledge pushing them forward out ancestors would still be living in the dust eating ants with twigs.
