I have a strong bias, looking at Chinese and Byzantine history, toward the notion that societies that have no 'outside' stagnate.

I think we need to do some very visible great things so that we have an high bar toward which to reach. We used to say 'We can put a man on the Moon, why can't we <A>.'. Well, these days the rejoinder is 'Uh, we can‘t put a man on the Moon.'.

Handy, Aurora is an ecological novel, about Earth, even though it takes place on a interplanetary generation spaceship. It shows the complexity of our enviroment. KSR/Aurora has been critisized as being "anti-space travel" but more to the truth he's incredibly "pro-Earth".

(((Murakami Whywolf):

The history of massacres, witch-burnings, and pogroms tell me that people with strong social bonds and without screens are _fully_ capable of acting like violent, hate-filled, louts.

Group violence and hate exist in humans because they tend to _strengthen_ social bonds…and if you think Facebook is bad for creating terrible and terribly uniform ideas, just look at any mediæval village or Nineteenth Century shtetl. Technology is bad when it amplifies all that, true.
