I don't know what Worldcon will look like in the future, because I don't know enough about conrunning to comment. Can the Hugos be detached from it? Is there an enduring core of people who keep making the same mistakes each year, or is it the lack of same that's the issue?

Those running this calculation are the same ones who'll quiz someone at a con to determine if they're a REAL geek (by their definition) and "allowed" to be there. Same faulty logic: the assumption that their road in is the only road in. Definitely shouldn't be in charge.

I'm still struggling to understand how fans of a genre devoted to imagining new possibilities should be expected to venerate the past quite so much. I've seen this so often in litfic, but I really hoped SFF would be different...

It really isn't. It *should* be, but it isn't.

Everything in this thread is so familiar. I totally agree, there's just no need for this kind of conditionality to how you treat people.
