They sure balanced out that social advancement with Fisher Stevens face painted to be an Indian engineer.

There’s no evidence it’s quiltists. That kind of blanket statement has no place in this debate. It could be someone else trying to fleece investors before they cotton on.

Our culture phrases damn near everything in metaphors of war. The war on drugs. The battle of the bands. Bob lost his battle with cancer. It’s absolutely pervasive, to the point it’s almost as invisible as the air.

The public library has tools and such in a lot of places.

Well, there is a market in people who think their city has gone to hell all because of… those people. They’ll eat this shit up.

The best time was 100 years ago. The second-best time is now.

I think the overview effect is due much more to who went to space than to space itself.

The people who could go on space missions are intelligent, curious, thoughtful people because that’s what it takes to achieve a spot on the ride. It makes sense that such a person might have a profound realization seeing Earth from outside.

Well it’s a series, but Three body problem. It should have been right up my alley, but I got so tired of every decision by every character being stupid that I couldn’t be bothered to read the last fifty pages of the last book.

Even if I charitably assumed the point of the book was to show that people are weak and stupid, the series was such a ham-handed strawman as to undercut its own commentary. And even worse, it had just enough interesting ideas to lead me to believe it was going somewhere worthwhile, but it never did.

It’s been years and I’m still pissed off that I wasted a week on it.

He’s talking about things happening with pace rather than speed, so…
