  • It’s interesting, this is true in the early days of the show but around season 4-5 it’s clear that while the humans (of earth) are still technologically primitive, they essentially are making use of huge swathes of the American military industrial complex. Especially in terms of r&d. Theyre also not beholden to centuries of rigid doctrine around combat. So even though a staff weapon is far more technologically advanced than a gun using gunpowder, the gun is more ergonomic, more usable, more accurate, comes in specialized forms, etc etc. Plus they can implement novel tactics like shooting laser guided missiles through the gate and painting targets with a laser.

    That show was pretty cool.

    Probably, and I’ll denounce and blame them for this just the same. My moral compass is that copyright shouldn’t exist to begin with.

    Cool but that issue is not in play here. That is not even close to a mainstream position and none of the actual players in this are working towards that outcome. Taking one side of this on that basis is silly.






  • People in general are savvy enough to know this. At least they used to be.

    About a third of people aren’t. They’re so disengaged they don’t bother examining things enough to see through it. They just see both sides accusing each other of the same thing, so in their minds it’s awash - the issue no longer matters to them and the guilty party pays no price.

    It’s a blunt instrument but it works reliably.
