This happens when betas think that they are sigmas.
Ok fair enough. The Three Body Problem series were much more serious than TWE. Maybe the filmmakers did a poor job adapting TWE into cinema.
My gripe with TWE is not really about the concept of moving the Earth around; though I still dislike that concept. My problem is the supposedly serious setting of TWE. Star Trek is set in its own fictional universe. Along with Star Wars, and Warhammer 40k. If TWE was set in the W40k universe. Then fine, put some massive god engines on Holy Terra and off we go. We can shut off our brains and enjoy the show. I can even argue that many of W40k technology is also remotely feasible. But TWE is set in the near feasible future, with contemporary political and social settings, and contemporary understanding of science. So TWE was meant to be hard sci-fi, not the fantastical sci-fi of W40k or Star Trek. Hard sci-fi need not be accurate, but it is supposed to showcase a better appreciation of science by the filmmaker. I see TWE as an underwhelming representation of that.
If we wanna argue about the feasibility of moving the Earth, its gonna waste too much thread space. But I'll just put forward a simple question. Say that humans already have fusion propulsion technology. Earth is somehow doomed and we are running out of time. Which solution has the highest probability of success of saving what's left of us? Turning planet Earth into a spaceship? Or just building many spaceships? Which solution would you vote for if your government gave you the option to choose?
I think it is indeed so. This kind of 'psychological problem' is just a sense of superiority brought about by the advantages accumulated over a long period of time.
Then these people mistakenly view the accumulated advantage as an inherent racial advantage.
Moving the earth to a new star system seems way overdone you would think they would just move the earth to a save zone until the sun is done doing it's shitty phase and then reposition the earth in a new goldy lock zone.
Unless I remembered it wrong the sun is expanding right and will swallow up the earth, the sun was not exploding and dying right?
I think if they did the same study on Indians, the results might shock them even more. Not all people in Asia behave the same way.
Surely indians and other countries that are far less well off than any in Asia have this as well. More likely, it is a mental disorder created by insufficient education and too strong government propaganda.
If the Chinese or Russians did the same thing to the anglos you can bet there’d be sanctions and cries of being unfriendly and wanting a Cold War.
No, even when presented with incontrovertible fact, the Indian solipsistically rejects it in favour of his desired substitute for reality. We saw this in Galwan, and even if you take a cursory glance at the Indians on twitter, you have Indians honestly believing Indians are taller, bigger and stronger than Chinese and superior in every way.” Vishwaguru” it’s now commonly mocked.
This is a classic work that exudes a sense of despair.
However, there are currently two versions: the Russian version and the Chinese version. I used to read this novel in a bookstore magazine when I was a child, but the protagonist was China.
Of course, military enthusiasts believe that the professionalism of military knowledge in this novel still needs to be improved.
There is currently controversy over which version is' true '.
It is said that in order to pass the review, the author entrusted a "military expert" to spend the night modifying the name.
I suggest reading this article, which provides a good summary of the development process of Chinese military novels in the early 21st century.
The entire 1990s was the darkest era for Chinese military enthusiasts. In the face of an unprecedented strategic crisis, we can only fight against the Americans with numerical advantages and lane battles like the Chechens
At that time, JSDF was often portrayed as an extremely powerful and cruel opponent, you can feel the serious anxiety of the Chinese patriots at that time. In the face of overwhelming technological advantages, apart from limited nuclear weapons, we only had our lives to sacrifice.
