@itgrrl @Ducky_Tape that is sometimes true, and i would like for it to be true more often. but mainly it is the other thing! (like, yes, i agree that it often echoes current anxieties - but i think it rarely usefully gives us tools for dealing with them)Look on archive.org

@itgrrl @Ducky_Tape like: how many times have people used sentient robots as a way to reflect race issues? but the main effect of that, it seems to me, is to make people talk seriously about the problem of what to do when machines get smart, rather than the problem of racismPermalink Look on archive.org
