"Staring back at us from the future is a better world that our hearts know is possible. And in that way, the Good holds a kind of sovereignty of its own—one that transcends our opinions. What matters now is whether we build bridges to that world."
Small point: there are 256 galaxies, ~zod is special (no Senate seat) so 255 Senate votes. Less in practice, many are controlled by Tlon and the Foundation. The vote needs a quorum of 64 of us to be valid. Also, Kelvin, as in Lord Kelvin.
I’m not sure what to think of any of it yet. I appreciate you sharing your perspective.
WRT 256 v. 64, I considered spelling all this out, but thought it too fine grained for those who don't know about the process and redundant for those who do. Thanks! Others have mentioned this and I have since noticed a few other typos, I should prob do a little clean up pass.
the foxy ladies are discussing urbit? bullish.
great, thoughtful post. I agree w your assessment.

(I haven't even mentioned Tlon or Galen in the piece ... editorial omissions ... all maps are ofc lies, etc. etc.)
Just a footnote really. Everything in life is fractally complex, just a matter of how long one wishes to stare at it.
