The "irony"... of advocating the insanity that we "should" base public policy on utopian juvenile science fiction?

Or the "irony" in "which Heinlein are you talking about"... the young man that was a utopian socialist... or the older, and one presumes wiser man...

who somehow "became less popular"... in spite of retaining significant shelf space when others have not... when his views shifted ?
The descent of a sci-fi guru

FWIW... I'm mostly not a science fiction fan... or, in the degree amused by it, more often having fun with the obvious errors in physics highlighted in most of it... than convinced by any "political" arguments made... as clearly not usefully justified by being "obviously wrong" about other things ?

Doesn't mean you can't watch Star Trek or Star Wars... and find it entertaining... in spite of the "dinosaur-like" state of the tech applied in making them, back then ?

Oddly, physics getting fair play in the tech applied to get better physical representations... without that requiring authors to not be scientific illiterates and brain dead "single perspective" political advocates ?
