       The difference between science fiction and reality is that science fiction has to make sense.

       @fribbledom When reality seems to make sens, it's probably no longer reality but a concept.Knowledge is not easy, it's a effort against oneself. When it's "logic", it's likely wrong or partially wrong.

       @fribbledom Obviously, that isn't actually true, but you're saying it in reality, so it doesn't have to make sense, so it is true.

       @fribbledom I could get tendinitis all over again listing all the nonsensical science fiction out there.

       @fribbledom Which is why I’m fond of worldbuilding that leaves the “true nature” of certain things up to the speculation of its inhabitants rather than insisting on a “single correct explanation”. Examples include the origin of the VSD (Viral-induced Spongiform Disease) pandemic, the PONR (point-of-no-return) theorem in combinatorial game theory (particularly chess), or the concept of cognitive singularities.

       @fribbledom that's true of so many forms of storytelling.  Maybe storytelling is trying to make it make sense.

       @fribbledom I've thought that the difference between storytelling and reporting a series of events, is that there's implicitly a storyteller who is telling the story for a reason, which informs how the story is told.

       @fribbledom Science fiction contains warnings about dystopian futures. Reality contains numbnuts who read those warnings, and decided they were actually instruction manuals.
