      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

      The NEA is basically a very esoteric and wasteful substitute for UBI which is pretty much the most fundamental endowment most artists in this country need

      Replying to @Nymphomachy @phyphor @BAlyssaHauk

      If you call it that you immediately generate a -- I think, very justifiable -- response from everyone else who wants a UBI that they don't see why they shouldn't get one for just *not* making art, especially if the art that gets made isn't very popular

      yeah like this is the real gist of the problem isn't it? it's that everyone really wants to be able to do what they want, and a lot of folks go "well why are artists special?"

      Or, in this instance, "why are scientists special".

      I'm kind of reminded how the Free Drones in the SMAC expansion have an Achilles heel where they take a penalty to Research, because they're biased against any scientific work that doesn't provide immediate value to the community

      Every citizen in their society *has to* do a certain amount of "productive labor" per day that goes directly toward feeding people and keeping the lights on Anything else -- art, science, entertainment, etc. -- is done in "free time" and not "work"

          It's highly *encouraged* to do stuff you think is cool in your free time (their philosophy is Eudaimonia) but it cannot and must not be confused with *work* They think that the Academy is ruled by lazy parasites cut off from the working class, no different from Morgan Industries

          (It is, I think, a very fair look at the assumptions most real-life non-caricatured leftists in the West have about how their ideal socialism would look in practice, and how even as an ideal it has obvious flaws)
