- Trump and the Mule - politically similar?In Isaac Asimov's Discussions6 avril 2022I wrote a story based on "Second Foundation" Chapter 21, "The Answer that Satisfied" and following chapter. The story happened because I was not satisfied with those chapters. But as the story evolved, I found the events of the Trump followers and Jan. 6 creeping into the story. I'm going to put the link here. Anyone who has read the book, you will understand the story. If you read the story, please drop some feedback. https://archiveofourown.org/works/3768685600
- This week’s episode.In Season 12 novembre 2021I hope the surprises are true to the spirit of the books. Foundation in many ways is an episodic storyline where the characters succeed based on their wits, which they manipulate through commerce, a pseudo religious following and eventually a collective mind, but that won’t happen for at least 500 Foundation Era Years.0

- Robotic LawsIn Foundation Discussions20 novembre 2021I wouldn't worry too much about. Since these are schlock writers, I believe that Halima's sect can explain it well. Let me help in this task. While clones (defective or not) do not karmically attract the souls of family members and friends over the millennia... they do attract the dis-incarnated souls of yesteryear's whack jobs. Not that whack jobs can't find a home in a natural born baby but that's for another day, related to family karmic patterns, etc. We need a Buddhist theology class for that one. So for the past 11,000 years, Joseph Stalin was wandering around, looking for a body to incarnate in but found too many average offsprings of stereotypical serial killers and somehow avoided getting stuck in one, to avoid paying back the karmic debt he owes to the millions people he killed during the years 1923 to 1953 (supposedly more than Hitler but a notch below Mao). In effect, those lives would have been others hurting him than vice versa. In essence, Stalin's soul is that of the Batman villain, the Joker, the entity which cares for nothing and only brings destruction to the universe. And so he sees that opportunity when the Cleons were genetically tampered with and decided that number 13 (Yes, what numerological timing 🙄 ) was the perfect opportunity to arrive on the physical plane. And there you have it, a setup where Day's trip to the Spiral opened himself to having feelings and then, seeing those feelings get jaded when Dawn was killed and discovering that his genes weren't so identical to Cleon I so that he didn't have to follow royal protocols forever. That's when ... the Joker consciousness fully awakened and Stalin's complete soul incarnated in Day to now become ... the most notorious Emperor that the galaxy has ever seen.0

- artistic license or artistic slaughter ?In Foundation Discussions28 octobre 2021@D. Thorn " And it is especially inexcusable to leave viewers to fill in the blanks. That says the writer hasn't a clue, and is hoping viewers will think they're cleverer than they are. " As a consequence, this is the legacy of JJ Abrams and other types of mediocre director/screen writers. They implicitly create plot holes, technical inconsistencies, etc, for the sake of convenience and then, let ppl debate among themselves with the notion that they got away with it. If you recall 'Star Trek: Into Darkness', Benedict Cumberbatch had a portable transporter which allowed him to get from Earth to the Klingon capital system with a single jump in no time. Well, that completely destroys the ST universe because now, Klingons, Humans, Romulans, and just about any alien species out there, could send timer-ed reactor cores, via this hand-held device, and create galactic Armageddon without any starships. This is why one can't let SF series be handled by slop writers. That type of slop only works on earth-based supernatural shows because that genre is all about magic and such. In Sci-Fi, if you have a parallel timeline or dimension, it has to be fleshed out for it to be believable. Bigfoot can't just appear out of nowhere and disappear w/o an explanation otherwise, it's fantasy and not Sci-Fi.0
- I'm not moved by Episode 8In Foundation Discussions11 novembre 2021@RandyO "You're two generations late ... " I WISH. I'm afraid that the idea that faith in feelings, intuition and blind belief still tops the list of not just old holiday movies, but current ones. AND new television shows where only the way the message is presented has been updated--like "God Friended me" where an atheist sees the light thanks to social media. "Highway to Heaven" has been resurrected and I'll bet you anything you like that every other episode will carry the exact same lesson as the one presented in good ole' "Miracle on 34th Street." Angels are real, you just have to believe. As for a 12,000 year old android having a religion...Asimov certainly did explore the idea of a robot wanting to be human to the point where they acted so human-like that they were "granted" human status. BUT there is a twist at the end of that story indicating that, really, they were still a robot. So I can believe an old, old robot might take on a religion even if they never quite understood why human have faiths, nor ever had a numinous experience--because they mistakingly believe it will make them more "human" and this is, for whatever reason, something they've come to believe they must be. That the robot had a vision, however, that I find very hard to believe. First, she wouldn't experience the pain, sunburn or dehydration, so, exactly what did she endure that warranted a vision? Either physically, emotionally, psychologically or, if you like, literally if it came from the divine? And second, as a robot, able to repair every part of herself, including her intellectual functions, if she *did* have a vision, she would know exactly how and why undermining the "faith" that it came from a higher power. And for that robot to tell a someone that any human who didn't have a vision would feel "empty"...that really don't believe as the robot has to know that they can in no wise predict how any given human would feel in such circumstances. Also, I find it really hard to believe that Cleon was that put out by not having a vision. They've made him way too cynical for that...unless he's SO egotistical that he DOES believe in the goddess and he's put out that she didn't give HIM (the emperor) a vision... 🤔 Or he was, as you say, so lost in the physical pain and drain of the experience that he deluded himself into believing he'd win the prize at the end and felt totally lost that he didn't.0
- I'm not moved by Episode 8In Foundation Discussions12 novembre 2021@Maria White This show continues to befuddle...three TRILLION followers? Yet they're having a water problem on that planet and need the Emperor's help? 🤨 Do these trillion followers not donate? Not care that their "Mecca" is in dire straits thanks to water shortages? We should have SEEN this in this place. The money, time, ingenuity, etc. that the faithful have poured into it. Not just old places of worship, but clever, new solutions to problems and issues. It would have SHOWN us (rather than just telling us) why the Emperor feels that any leader of this religion rivals him in power and is a serious threat. And my goddess! If even a tiny, tiny fraction of that many followers--and yes, I know, I know, that most followers of any religion are not super religious, and most won't ever travel all the way to their respective holy land...but we are talking TRILLIONS...so, again, if even the tiniest fraction of those come to walk the spiral...they must have one huge crematorium going 24/7 for all the pilgrims who fall dead along the way. And why is the only place we see to tend to sunburns and dehydration and wounds a bunch of tents????? They've been doing this for 11,000 years. Shouldn't there be a HUGE hospital for all those pilgrims? Specializing in sunburns, wounds and dehydration? I'll accept your reasoning for assassinating Z.H. after discrediting her...but I still can't square her death with being at the hands of the robot, thus breaking Asimov's most sacred first law. And no, Cleon didn't have a real vision. But as we saw, he didn't need to in order to restore his credibility. He only had to say he'd had one...and make it a good one. Which he did. No one doubted him except the robot. I mean, it's clear the writers want us to believe that the clone dynasty is going very wrong and that less and less people have loyalty to it, or belief in it. it's the premise of the show, after all, that it's going to collapse no matter what this or future Cleons do. Mathematics says so. 😉 But if we're talking Cleon's credibility with three trillion faithful followers of this religion, then he's more or less restored it with his "vision."0
