Temporal Colonization sounds fascinating

I need a video on all of them cause this isn’t fair! They all sound so intriguing.

Why does it always have to be 4 good choices 😭

I voted for Temporal Colonization. I keep hearing "you can't live in the past," but it'd be good to have plans just in case. 😏

I’ve seen a lot of people interested in Temporal Colonization. We will not be silent.

Why do you think the Timelords have such a vested interest in protecting Earth and Humanity out of all the worlds and species in the Universe? Closing the time loop, of course.

Well, that was a tough choice. Post scarcity economics. I want to imagine a better world because this one has me so jaded.

I'm still hoping one day to see a video with a deep dive on life on elliptical worlds like Ferris from 40k universe.

They all sound great sir, but I would say Economics of a post scarcity Universe and Temporal Colonization grab my attention most.

If any y’all interested the economy of a post scarcity utopia- read the culture novels by Iain M Banks!

@greggweber9967

If everything is free and baring the ability to instantly make everything using no materials, is there any need to prioritize what to make? How would the priority be set?

I bet if you add an option for "all of the above" it would be the most voted by far.

Please consider mentioning series like Ring of Fire and Island in the Sea of Time for the temporal colonization episode.

I didn't think that the economics of a post scarcity universe would be the most popular. I'm very curious how this works since people's lust for power and greed is still human nature.

I hope that different types of society are viable for a space society, the opposite at least kills any interest in science fiction with different states, at most means problems for our society as well

How about an episode on technology that operates below the Planck length?

@RangedPies

I want shields to win more than anything. I feel like if those can be spun up that'd ensure that a planet will always be the most revenant entity in a system. Also would they be able to hold an atmosphere if even the planet lacked the gravity to

Temporal colonisation better be really inconspicuous because we found no trace from the past of it. Otherwise it's just a multiversal colonisation with extra steps.

@MaconMedia

My standard answer is Yes, all of them!!! The post-scarcity one is my favorite and the temporal one is a VERY close second
