Stuff (to be delved into in greater detail later on):
How to leave a planet:
- Bad: Rockets (dumb, clunky, and inefficient)
- Good: R A I L G U N S (much better, but still require tons of energy)
- Good: Trebuchets (used in tandem with railguns to yeet stuff through space (i.e. the Skyhook))
How to enjoy a planet:
- Don't fill the atmosphere with CO2
- Don't fill the oceans with plastic
- Don't kill literally everyone else
- Constantly improve efficiency / recycle resources
Society:
- Eudaimonia...?
- Emergence - Ants, germs, and AIs
-
Culture
- Parts of a whole
- God
- Kardashev Scale: Intelligence? Energy consumption? Numbers? Influence? Where does society come from?
Technology:
- Energy efficiency... but with a sample size of one
- Assuming war: explosives? Bigger explosives? What about planetary megastructures? Are bombs necessary?
- Assuming expansion: what kind of ships? We like railguns and trebuchets. What about dark matter and other physics?
- Assuming communication: Compression? Files? Light?
Biology:
- Why is everything always bipedal? We've found exactly one type of human so far. What makes Lucas think that humans evolved convergently?
- What other types of senses are there? There aren't only five. We know this. Is experience even something most organisms... do?
- WHERE THE HECK DID BIOLOGY COME FROM???
- Fire.
