If you say the lie often enough, it becomes the excepted truth.

I mostly agree with you, but protections aren't the same thing as rights. Protections are a one way street, rights are a two way street.

If they're as smart, communicatable and capable of social responsibilities, then yes. There are some species that may be "differently" smart as humans, but lack a common lanuage and can't take on shared social responsibilities, so giving them rights is difficult to say the least.

Buy less, travel less, demand wfh.

No political will promote slowing the economy down even though that's the simplest, most straightforward way to slow our pollution output. Our stockmarket and retirement plans are based on infinite growth, which is unfeasible even without climate change being a factor.

Also, as far as resource costs go, planting tree is more efficient at capturing carbon then any industrial scrubber. Research should still be done, but anyone trying to sell a scrubber plant is just fishing for VC funds.

They're not really right wing. Very suburban, sheltered and privileged, but I've never heard them talk politics. I can say extra privileged because one of them wanted to put an Battlefield sound board in their car. Sure, that's what you want. Making it easy to accidentally make the sounds of gunfire if you ever get pulled over by a cop because your taillight is out.

As far as star trek goes, they're rather talk about the power output of the phasers then character arcs. They're very basic.

"NFTs will protect artists!"

You can't name a single court case where nft receipts won the case, but it's very easy to find nft bros minting other people's work.

I know a bunch of trekkies, a fandom around a post scarcity, pseudo communist utopia, embrace crypto despite it being an artificial scarcity concept that doesn't really fix any of the issues of the preceding system. I make fun of them whenever nfts come up, including posting any negative nft news into the humor channel of their discord.

I'm solving them, but not sure what the actual logic is of them. Searching for guides just comes up with SS1 Remake guides.
