Are you looking forward to 2016’s Superman vs Goku, directed by Zack Synder?

no, cause theres no tension there: the only conceivable way for superman to face off against goku would be in an eating contest, where goku would win hands down

I dunno, I don’t think it’s just a hook to get people to read the article. I think that dissatisfaction is a real, powerful thing that frames a lot of what postmodernist culture is about.

dissatisfaction rooted in pining for the heyday of quantum mechanics and space flight while them comparing to iphones and the internet is only a real and powerful thing in bad journalism. The fact he was able to say anything cogent at all about modern academia when his starting point was predicated on ignoring the rapid pace in incredibly important areas of research that are either not exciting or too complicated to be sensational about is nothing short of a miracle if you think its anything other than just a weird in for him to start talking about it

[absolutefucker]

which half?

every time he becomes more interested in expressing & trying to justify dissatisfaction over technology not being What Was Promised, which tapers off as it gets to the end. i mean i guess if you want to write a shitty article that people will actually read thats one way to go about it since io9 manages to staff several people on that basis

but when your article is about the fact that economic forces shape the focus of technological research, have for thousands of years, that capitalists insistence that capitalism is the great innovator holds so little water that even silicon valley billionaire types are beginning to call bullshit on it, and that many technological innovations serve to push the labour onto poorer countries instead of really doing anything better--all of which are things he points out and has evidence for--how about you don't frame it all with some tired bs which is 2 parts romanticising the past--academia a haven for outcasts indeed--and 1 part insisting this is the bad timeline
