    Why has American society done such a bad job at getting young people inspired to go into science or engineering back in the 2000s?

    I find it kind of sad that I don't recall anyone I knew from my public school years in an average middle class suburban part of America during the 2000s who went into science or engineering. I don't recall anyone from my elementary school years back in the early 2000s saying they dreamed of...

    What if Hollywood was more interested in building a better future rather than excessive materialism?

    What if instead of mansions, yachts, and private jets the people of Hollywood in the 90s and 2000s were more interested in turning their smog covered city into a utopia with electric cars and green public transport powered by solar, fusion, and nuclear power? They were also inspired by the...

    Why have game developers struggled to make amazing space sci fi games during the 2010s?

    "No Man's Sky", "Mass Effect Andromeda", "Starfield", etc. Starfield is a little better than Andromeda but it isn't amazing like the ME OT, BSG, and The Expanse. While we get amazing games like "Horizon Zero Dawn", "Spider Man", "Elden Ring", etc. Mass Effect Andromeda seemed aimed at the MCU...

    To me the November-December time period is the perfect time for a big budget space adventure show

    Perhaps it is because the first sci fi show I ever watched was aired during the Nov-Dec time period. And as a sci fi fan it feels like getting a nice Christmas present. If I was a TV show producer in 2022 I would have a big space adventure show ready for November-December 2023. And rather...

    Why was American society more conformist and prejudiced against geek culture in the 2000s?

    I remember back in 2015 there was a comment on a video for a Johnny Cash song that stated “Seems like a game f*gs play” after a E3 2015 trailer that revealed Mass Effect Andromeda used a Johnny Cash song. I didn’t know if they were referring to the original trilogy or Andromeda. Andromeda did...

    Would a world where "Sci Fi" did not rebrand into "Syfy" be a better alternate world?

    Back in 2011-2014 there was not one show on TV that had space travel in it that was not a Star Wars cartoon. I enjoyed "Clone Wars" and even "Rebels" btw. Now there are at least a dozen and we are getting more. https://www.tor.com/2021/09/27/babylon-5-the-cw-j-michael-straczynski/...

    Why were the early 2010s more vapid?

    I was just a young idealistic college student back then. During the Summer between my Freshman and Sophomore year of college in 2014 a friend showed me a video game called "Mass Effect" and I was blown away by the universe, story, and characters that was created in this video game. As a "Cod...
