Organizing society around the production and consumption of fiction: "level-headed realism"
Wanting to spend even a fraction of our resources on expanding further out into the actual physical space that surrounds us: "science fiction"

That’s my main objection to so-called progressivism. They don’t care about progress or anything like it. Mainly, these days they are preoccupied with the joy they feel in cataloging what they “must” take away from everyone. (Live in the pod. Don’t eat meat. Drink cockroach milk, eat bugs.) Not only will this not work, it’ll cause regression on every axis. It’s not a path to a livable future.
