Jessica from Dune encourages her son Paul to use "the voice" which is some future space wizardry that allows him to control others.

In this case, the voice that Americans (probably mostly millennials) think of when someone says "my wife" is the voice of Borat, who develops an obsession with Pamela Anderson from a Baywatch poster and refers to her as his wife.

  • Because authoritarians convinced the American people that military interventions prevent terrorist attacks to distract them from the reality which is that terrorist attacks are caused by American interventions.

    It's only possible to convince Americans of that because they are shockingly ignorant of history and they believe whatever the warmongers tell them.

  • That does sound kind of messed up the way it is described in the article especially based on who is funding it. However, almost every city builder or factory game I've played involves use of fossil fuels for much of the game and you layer in better options as they become available.

    It seems cool but it's really just printing a frame right? It's not going to print the plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roof, septic, etc. That's where a lot of the big costs for material and labor come in. I suspect this is why we haven't seen this take off. Modular homes seem to have become popular and seem like a much more realistic way to mass produce homes because they can be made assembly line style in one place and then assembled on site.
