This sounds more like Projection than exxtrapolatin or speculation. There is only one historical example of a great culture turning away from exploration. One Chinese emperor burned the great trading vessles when he inherited power. Otherwise the Han would have discovered the west coast of the Americas and been the ocean spanning world power. In any case it's been done before. Ecotopia, Songs from the Stars by Norman Spinrad, Niven and Pournelle 's Angels Fall, etc. Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars Trilogy and Ministry of the Future all envision a future of high tech and ecology. If you've actually ever investigated Gaian religions they are at their core organic and not like the desert religions with encorced dogman and it seems very unlikely they would become so. In any case we won't turn away from techology, we'll simply be focusing most of it on resscuing the biosphere as you say. We'll want to be in space to tap its resources.

Hello! I'm the co-author on and creator of THE SPACERS SAGA. I'll echo my associate's compliment for your insightful comment, and offer some discussion of my own: The Community of Gaia, as I envision it now, was devised at the tail end of the 21st century as a stopgap measure to protect biodiversity and natural resources from the climate crisis. However, over the next two centuries, as space infrastructure developed and the nation-states of Solar Space grew in power, its own leaders grew more influential and gained more and more of a thirst for power (as is often the case). As each new generation of CoG leaders came to power, they turned more and more inward, focusing more on ruling Earth under the dogma of "Earth First" than on allying themselves with the burgeoning society beyond the homeworld. As a result, by the 24th century (when most of the story of THE SPACERS SAGA takes place), it was a full-fledged ecofascist totalitarian empire, with dogmatic ideologies held in place by a rigid and entrenched bureaucracy and a strict police state, nominally for the purpose of protecting the Earth but really so that the leadership could hold onto their power. As the old saying goes, "You don't install a dictatorship to safeguard a revolution; you have a revolution to install a dictatorship." The Progressive Order of Gaia emerged around the turn of the 24th century as a counter to this dynamic, and the relationship between the two has been fraught with tension. These tensions will lead to a conflict in the early to mid-25th century, as well, with the struggle between the ICA and the Alliance playing out in the late 24th century leading to another World War, this time between the CoG and the POG. ...but that's a story for another time 😉

It will always be the actor's lament to be typecast. However, to be able to inhabit a role that will remain in our collective mind's eye for decades to come has to be a gift. 99.9% of people live quiet, desperate lives and will never be remembered.

Absolutely not a negative, but you guys remind me of sitting around with my mates, talking about old movies and being surprised how much we remember of the 80's/90's shows we used to watch as little Irish feckers with only a couple of channels...getting something like *"Star Trek"* (any of them!) was a HUGE deal to us!, It was later in life that I got into *Babylon 5* and *Stargate* etc, through the same friend who later introduced me to *Firefly* ... amazing journeys learning about amazing journeys!

The real story in Bladerunner is we are but the sum of our memories, and if you implanted false memories into a mind capable of consciousness that it would A), make the individual who they think they are, and B) be indistinguishable from a real person with real memories and so therefore that raises the issue that, how do you know your own memories are real? The title of the story the film is based on, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep sees Deckard living in a world where there are no real animals available as pets, because they're so rare and thus so expensive, but robot copies are available. (Do you like our owl? "Is it real?" Of course it's real.) Whereas she, the woman saying that line, Rachel, wasn't.) And Deckard ultimately doesn't know if he's human, and if were an android would he be dreaming of owning an electric robot sheep, as he does. Which is a question he can't answer reliable. A film with something to say to a world where Alzheimers is robbing so many of their memories and so their identities.

Hello! This is Nick, co-host of the show and longtime fan of the film Blade Runner. I wanted to thank you for sharing your thoughtful comment and to offer my own discussion of the topic, which is in fact very near to my heart. In the Sci-Fi Film class where I met co-host and show creator Derwin, we covered A.I. in Cinema, and one of the key points I made in my classroom discussions and in the essays I wrote as part of the course assignments, I often reflected on the notion that if something is a perfect simulation of life, then where does the delineation cease to exist and instead give way to life in fact? With this in mind, your point about how we are all the sum of our memories is very apropos, as it reflects the idea that humans and replicants (or humans and zharans) are not as different as the former would like to assume, and in fact, may be separated only by an arbitrary distinction imposed by humanity. Thanks again for sharing your insight, and for taking the time to interact with the video - that really does mean the whole world :)
