That’s such a cool setting for SciFi! Discovery of an alien civ by studying UFOs. Astonishment at discovering multiple civs. Finding out the reason why these civs don’t exist anymore. Protecting ourselves against this threat.
I wish I had time to explore this :(
Sigh… Texas…
AI is new means of production. The fight mustn’t be against this new means of production. Rather, it must be to seize these new means of production.
“AI bad” is not a coherent argument.
What’s the guy gonna do? Sue them? He’s dead. Murdered by the capitalist authoritarians.
The only rightful place for kings is under the blade of a guillotine.
The role of the government is not to decide what is abhorrent and what isn’t. The role of the government is to ensure protection of human rights, provide healthcare, run schools, build infrastructure and so on.

I’ll try going through the summaries of the books you recommended! Thanks :)
