      I mean, why is there a PS5? Did we actually need one? Was the PS4 just not good enough? Is the benefit of having one even in the same ballpark of importance as curing cancer?

      I mean I was being glib with my PS5 comment but considering that we're all basically on hospice and there's very little hope for anyone, I do think that it's better to invest in bread and circuses than, say, real estate development

      And maybe science is circus enough for some people?

      You: The world is dying so we might as well just give up and enjoy ourselves. Scientists: *enjoy themselves by doing science* You: Not like that! People: *enjoy the science show* You: You know you're just supporting an orthodoxy you've had inculcated in you from childhood ...

      yeah I'm pissed off about organizations *with responsibilities* that have huge war chests putting that money toward a very esoteric and fleeting circus when there's still millions of people going without BREAD, thank you for playing

      And they can eat PlayStations? That was your original point and you've said you're not moving the goalposts so I just want to check.

      Also, you're getting annoyed at NASA spending money on space missions, when there's other things you prefer the money to be spent on. But I don't see why that's the fault of NASA, especially when the money isn't real.

      jesus fuck this is the problem with you in this argument you just, really, really, want for space travel to be a good thing that you can enjoy, you are pure "Let People Enjoy Things", repeatedly, and any time anything is inconvenient to that it just disappears like manpower

      I don't actually give a fuck about money. Capitalism is bullshit. Money isn't real. Overcommodification disgusts me. What I care about is what money represents, what REAL, tangible energy goes into shitty projects like this that provide no justifiable returns for 99% of humanity

      Well I dunno Do you feel that way about the NEA (like Rush Limbaugh did, or at least pretended to) Their operating budget is a good 1/2 order of magnitude lower than NASA's but it's still bread and circuses

      If you throw some artist a $50k check so he can dip crucifixes in jars of urine and take photos for a year that is not, in actual serious federal budget terms, any amount of money at all But shit obviously there are people who will be like "Why can't *I* get that $50k"

          "Why couldn't you take that $50k and buy a bunch of kids lunch for a day" "Well... the funding streams for those two things aren't even connected" "Why the fuck should I care about that" Etc etc

          of course its a llittle more complicated than that because most people arent deeply morally opposed to the space program. (I'm not morally opposed to Piss Christ, but I do think its kind of stupid and funding should have gone to better artists but yeah)
