    It’s always a bit funny when singularity techbro types start talking big ideas about megastructures and Dyson spheres like dude, we aren’t even harvesting a fraction of a percent of the energy that is being hand delivered to us on earth right now. Maybe we should try capturing a little more of that

      Same with going to go live on Mars and the moon and Jupiter’s moons, etc.

      Like homies. We ain’t even brought civilization to our oceans or mountains right here on Earth, which are much closer and more hospitable.

      You would think the next big bazinga thing would be seasteads and terraforming new islands and the like on Earth, but they blew right past that. China, Saudis and the gulf states are the only ones trying to do the terraforming sci-fi stuff.

      Dyson sphere, except it’s from James Dyson and not Freeman Dyson, and it’s got what’s in those funky bladeless fans or hair dryers
