It's really a bummer that so much of the web's promise is not only lost, but also tarnished by folks who only know the net to be a walled gardens and silos.. "the Internet wasn't a group of five websites, each consisting of screenshots of text from the other four" as the saying goes. Lost Futures are a heallva drug man. Wish I think is the point of Vaporwave right? The sounds of a nostalgia that never was that expected a future that would never be? Something like that.
Regardless, it is our empty mall. Ours to make.
Both the near/present cyberpunkerinos and the further ahead concepts of space exploration are deeply drenched in billionaire bazinga shit, from failures of literary analysis of the original inspirational materials to the worst possible attempts to make the worst parts of such concepts a reality. Ever notice how many bazingas fantasize about Cameron's Avatar in a "kill the furries loot the resources while giving pretentious speeches about humanity fuck yeah" sort of way? Shit's dire.
Bro, I grind my teeth into dust thinking about these fuckin' losers.
The "punk" of sci-fi and fantasy is lost and wasted on these ghouls. It's so frustrating that Oligarchs were fuckin' dorks in their youth and it's worst yet all their little sicko-phants are dorks too. Bazinga shit indeed man. I hate it so much.
