If we find cave drawings on Mars, could that be viewed as support of or a refutation of her theory of approach?
It would back up her assertation that rocks have feelings. How else could a cave engage in the act of drawing if they did not have feelings to express?
Her humanity neutral approach noted.
Is Astrotopia the name of Jane’s religion or Musk/Bezos?
I prefer my religious people to be sentient enough to realize they have a religion.
In any case, she is just applying Progressive Marxism to… well, everything. The damn Mars rocks are commies now.
Well they are red after all….
these people are seriously dangerous and we need a robust philosophical rebuttal to them..
We need to separate them from society and positions of power, gather them together and completely ignore them, beyond providing basic survival rations etc. We need to stop treating them like sane individuals.
First explain to me why I should feed those trying to destroy me and mine!
People need food to eat should be the only rebuttal needed but the science class think we don’t need agriculture. Hundreds of millions will starve to death if Progressive Marxists get their way.
You say that as though death isn’t their goal.
Humans have been the most dangerous predator on planet for tens of thousands of years.
Becoming more dangerous, is not a problem.
And cats and dogs like it.
Our only actual defense is in a generation, more or less; they’ll be gone.
I used to argue a lot. Never worked.
Decided patience was the answer.
Yup, facts be damned.
Science and society in general only advance (or self-correct) “one death at a time”.
We humans really are a high school level popular kids club despite our frontal lobes!

Why is it that these people constantly hector us about how bad humanity is, but refuse to set the example by feeding themselves into mulching machines?
Don’t give ’em any ideas. Too many examples recently of people who decide to take a few others with them, along with first creating a “manifesto.”
Because they think they are the enlightened who have evolved into self divinity and the rest of us, not so much.
In one of Clarke’s novels (I think) there is a Church of Jesus Christ-Cosmonaut.
The original name of the Communist Manifesto was The Communist Confession of Faith
Rendezvous With Rama, IIRC.
