Folks, Would love to get your thoughts on two Robert Heinlein Books I (re)read recently. A short disclaimer: I don't necessarily support any of the ideas proposed in the books, but found them deeply thought provoking especially in the context of the 2016 political climate and with the concept of ...

I think the interest in both works and in sci if in general is coming up with an idea of how the future might work and testing it out in a way. Because it's fiction the author can generate a contrived universe where they can test th ideas. For example ...

Yet it is possible to take a set of rationalized principles, and then to distill them into a fictional story in order to demonstrate how one believes ones philosophy pertains to the real world. I would agree that to treat the fiction as anything other than an argument made poetically ...

I love both these books, but they're just fiction. It's easy to make political statements like both books make when you control everything in that universe. You can always manipulate plot lines to have your hero/heroine come out in the end. However, too many people take both of these books ...

Should there be plans on sustainability and should it have its own section? I might have missed it for now, but I did not see a section for sustainability. I do believe that this is a topic that should be discussed here. Since we have a network of people from ...

+1 I also think population growth should be closely considered when it comes to sustainability as for example in space population would need to be closely watched to make sure resources are not stretched too thin as happens on earth all too often.

Some question about refugees - Something to think about How would you determine the difference between legal and illegal refugees? Would all refugees be allowed into Asgardia or only a certain number? Would refugees be allowed to bring in family? Even if these family members are in a safe place ...
Jun 13, 17 / Can 24, 01 09:25 UTC
I believe that allowing refugees will somewhere down the line lead to people taking advantage or trying to destroy the nation. Asgardia should help in relocating refugees back to the country of origin or closest option, Asgardia needs to be united with the decision of refugee policy & it ...

Somewhere in the future: When Asgardia is an international recognized nation, there will be embassies on earth - in every nation that has diplomatic connections to Asgardia. So there is then a physical place for people to go to. It's very limited and completely useless to function as a ...

>You're probably thinking of asylees, who have a different legal classification. They're a non-issue for Asgardia precisely because you can't walk to space. Walking to space made me think of this webcomic.
So, yes, I suppose some thought should be considered for people who ...
