of course he brought up Elon Musk and "nesting realities" quantum quantum the Matrix quantum
and then he started burbling about Doctor Who and I wasn't gonna let *that* stand. of course when I corrected him he completely ignored me and went back to conspiracy theory "fun facts"
I legit have no idea what he's talking about. "coriolis effect doesn't exist" "yet it's taught in schools and can't be found by any gyroscope yet taught to effect and be found by gyroscopes" wat
That whole "lol if you grew up in the 80s onwards you were promised a seedy cyberpunk dystopia not anything nice."
a) Optimistic Scifi continued throughout the mainstream media during the peak of the cyberpunk movement.
b) Cyberpunk at its genesis & its core was prophetic, not a 'promise'.
It was "Stop f*ing the world up or this will happen to our kids", not "Hey kids, guess what you've got to look forward to".

oh I guess CW: death
otoh I'm kind of glad that pTerry died when he did--before the Brexit nonsense, and Trump. I like to think that he died when the world was a more hopeful place, and he didn't have to deal with all the crap we're slogging through now. :|
