@melbaker9495 Thank you so much for your insight!

Hello! I'm the co-author on and creator of THE SPACERS SAGA. I'll echo my associate's compliment for your insightful comment, and offer some discussion of my own: The Community of Gaia, as I envision it now, was devised at the tail end of the 21st century as a stopgap measure to protect biodiversity and natural resources from the climate crisis. However, over the next two centuries, as space infrastructure developed and the nation-states of Solar Space grew in power, its own leaders grew more influential and gained more and more of a thirst for power (as is often the case). As each new generation of CoG leaders came to power, they turned more and more inward, focusing more on ruling Earth under the dogma of "Earth First" than on allying themselves with the burgeoning society beyond the homeworld. As a result, by the 24th century (when most of the story of THE SPACERS SAGA takes place), it was a full-fledged ecofascist totalitarian empire, with dogmatic ideologies held in place by a rigid and entrenched bureaucracy and a strict police state, nominally for the purpose of protecting the Earth but really so that the leadership could hold onto their power. As the old saying goes, "You don't install a dictatorship to safeguard a revolution; you have a revolution to install a dictatorship." The Progressive Order of Gaia emerged around the turn of the 24th century as a counter to this dynamic, and the relationship between the two has been fraught with tension. These tensions will lead to a conflict in the early to mid-25th century, as well, with the struggle between the ICA and the Alliance playing out in the late 24th century leading to another World War, this time between the CoG and the POG. ...but that's a story for another time 😉

@@DamienZshadow thank you so much!

That depends on your model number. Where was your production line? Mars?

Agreed. If I could accomplish 1/10 of what Mr. Shatner has done, it'll be a life well spent.

Absolutely. Shatner's second album, "Has Been," was the music of my junior year of high school.

What a pleasure to welcome you to our channel. Thanks for watching!

@@blanketfortressofsolitude5270 Thank you so much for the welcome and the "nostalgia induced binge watch fest" I'm going on as we speak!, gotta re-watch all of *Firefly* first, then probably get my *KHAAAAAAN* on and take it from there, your discussion is interesting and refreshing..., great work!

@@RobSandman Khan is the perfect movie. I could watch it every day.

Thanks for listening!

Absolutely! That show was awesome!

Thank you so much! That means a lot!

@@danrayson welcome! We're glad you're here!

Thank you so much for taking the time to listen to this episode! We also have an episode on Electric Sheep that we just put out a few weeks ago if you're interested.

Hello! This is Nick, co-host of the show and longtime fan of the film Blade Runner. I wanted to thank you for sharing your thoughtful comment and to offer my own discussion of the topic, which is in fact very near to my heart. In the Sci-Fi Film class where I met co-host and show creator Derwin, we covered A.I. in Cinema, and one of the key points I made in my classroom discussions and in the essays I wrote as part of the course assignments, I often reflected on the notion that if something is a perfect simulation of life, then where does the delineation cease to exist and instead give way to life in fact? With this in mind, your point about how we are all the sum of our memories is very apropos, as it reflects the idea that humans and replicants (or humans and zharans) are not as different as the former would like to assume, and in fact, may be separated only by an arbitrary distinction imposed by humanity. Thanks again for sharing your insight, and for taking the time to interact with the video - that really does mean the whole world :)
