Currently working on that.... I'll need to build a new building soon. Running out of room in my house. 🤔

Many of the books I own are from Californian libraries..Got quite a few from Sacramento.

My local library doesn't carry Asimov's works. I have to search for them online.

I do not possess any of Asimov's writings.

No.... I've never read it. I am recalling from memory, what I saw on the science channel in the series "prophets of science fiction."

No, something analogous to that. That was my intention. I wasn't intending to make that a mirror reflection of the prime directive, as that wouldn't be accurate, but mostly as a set of laws governing a specific subject. The prime directive is similar to this, but concerns a different matter.

I esteem his sayings on robotics as more philosophical, using sci-fi as a model.

Nope.... gotta deep six the homo, but I'll definitely take precautions nonetheless in view of Asimov's jewishness.

I always understood it as something of a "prime directive" as Asimov saw it within that context.

Okay.... I'll look into it. I'm always wanting to expand my library. Thanks for the suggestion.

No.. I've intended to, but haven't yet. I am really only familiar with his rules of robotics.

It makes me wonder if Creation itself isn't a wholistic living organism with rules and parameters that define the nature of that organism. I've even wondered if it has a "consciousness", and if so, could this be mapped out somehow, with the codification of exactly what it is being worked out in reverse?

Indeed.. I've seen this often.... It's the driving impulse of the lower mind.

>I think they created America itself thru time travel for their needs

I've encountered this theory before in classic sci-fi literature....I seem to recall it was in a Jules Verne novel about an airship, but my memory is a little dim presently.

There's no progress without the ability to conceive and visualize an ideal to work towards. One could call this ability "the cultivation of meaningful work." It raises man above the humdrum of his normal routine, and helps him to aspire to higher things.... Without this, man is naught but a beast.

Fiction contains many models about very real things. How many can actually appreciate that fact?

That Steve character is a mega Chad frfr.

No, but I was smiling the most wicked and satisfied grin as though I were enjoying a truly fine vintage.

This was the best thing I've heard all day.

This is the kind of guy you divert your gaze away from while driving home, and pretend not to notice. 🤨
