    An Acquaintance: “Oh my goodness and they said that people could actually be living on Mars soon! Isn’t that just neat-o?”

    Me: Having watched enough hours of “Science Fiction and Futurism with Isaac Arthur” to qualify for a doctorate

    Me: “Yep. Sure is super neat-o.”

      Science Fiction and Futurism with Isaac Arthur

      How can I have read dozens of books by the guy and not know he did a TV show?!

          How can I have read dozens of books by the guy and then confuse him for another? Mea maxima culpa.

            For anyone unfamiliar, “Science Fiction and Futurism with Isaac Arthur” is a prolific YouTube channel. He’s cranked out dozens (if not hundreds) of hours about everything from building archologies on the moon, colonizing the surface of the sun, to settling what’s left at the end of the universe. What that guy does is genuinely a public service and he’s gotten awards for his work.
