You mean to tell me the glorious Empire could have tamed the european savages and we could have had a more peaceful world instead of the mess we have now?

One thing I read is that a major factor that drove western Europeans to be so dominant worldwide is that their North Atlantic ocean fishing vessel tradition resulted in them being faster and more capable than most other vessels in the world, initially proving superior to the typically Roman-esque rowing-focused designs of the Mediterranean.

And this doesn't apply to polynesia because...?

yep. correct.

why , why would it be desired for slavs to be counted as white?

Seems like you're making a a bad faith argument.

Star Trek deals with lots of different technologies and their potential impacts on human behaviour; some people don't want to use the transporter or develop phobias from it, the replicators eradicate hunger and poverty (at least on earth) so society evolves to be more egalitarian, what if we could travel faster than light, etc etc.

Pew pew lasers and swords and magic is hardly technologies' potential impact on humanity, which is the point of harder sci fi.

Gotta put the willhelm scream in there, but make it not too obvious.

But don't change it so much the nerds can't recognise it

With Star Wars 1977 the story was that most of the people in the background were hired from the union in London when filming, probably not many black chaps there then. Or so I’ve read recently.

There were plenty of black people in london back then, but maybe not in the acting union. Not sure.

The lesson here is if you want engagement, use AI, because the douchebags will comment in a rabid state and other people will appriciate it more than your shitty drawings

works o' fart

it’s science fiction in the same ‘setting only’ way that star wars is.

it tries to tie the progresses in science and techology to make a statement about humanity.

I don't think star wars says that except for "what if there was a gun so big you could shoot a planet?"

nutaku? They advertised with iAMAs on reddit...

I wonder if they're hiring?
