Asimov is known by most as a Science Fiction writer. Otherwise, good essay - but ya kinda spoiled it with the above tinfoil-ish reference.
What are you smoking?
You're replying to a post made four days ago, where I pointed out, quite correctly, that Isaac Asimov was primarily a science fiction writet....and YOU are asking "what I'm smoking"????
Since when is Isaac Asimov's Sci-Fi authorship in any manner make his substantive point here "tin-foilish"???? It turns out in his particular insight here he was dead-on. A lot of REAL scientists both read...and write Sci-Fi. Jerry Pournelle is another example of such, and an illustrious pantheon could be adduced if you take a look.
So what the heck ARE you smoking? And what is the big deal about four days, are you only into real-time? An "existential" ErnBatavia?
