Hyper advanced androids

This is extremely common in sci fi, user. Everybody wants their story set in the “near” future to give it some grounding, seem more relatable, just around the corner, etc. Why do you think the vast majority of popular sci fi that has ever been made is set in the “near” future? It’s why you often seen stories set like 30-50 years in the future, and almost never over 100, like blade runner, total recall, elysium, the expanse, 2001, alien, onions green, the matrix, terminator, hell even anime sci fi does it like akira and eva.

Why do you expect everything to follow the same time line as ours? Even fantasy writers like tolkien identified the negatives with creating an imaginative story set around real time and real geographical locations. There is more freedom in creativity if you set it off from real world.
Just think of Raised by Wolves set in a timeline with a completely different history of earth.

Was it a book first maybe?
Take a guy from 1900 to 2000 and he would shit.

Moore's law.

He's trolling you

Compared to how we live from 100 years ago not much has changed. Just a bunch of minor little gadgets and transport a bit better. Still living in shitty housing complex with everyone being poor.

yes the lives of thrid worlders hasn't changed much

You mean the south.

When does this settings time branch away from real history?

a thousand or so years in the future

retard

It's hard to comprehend how fast shit could actually change if humanity was introduced to totally alien technology that was also understandable/workable

It's not, actually.
Look at Shanghai 50years ago vs now.
Even 30years.

The Expanse is literally set hundreds of years from now you cretin.

Isn't the point of the show that the Mithraic found some hidden alien tech in their "scriptures" and used it to make all these things

nah chud, it is canon

atheshit propaganda

except its the same story until the scriptures are found, thats when it diverges.

yes

My headcanon is that the Mithraics became a sort of "secret cult", practiced by a very small number of initiates after Christianity took over in the Roman empire. They always had the scriptures, but humanity simply wasn't technologically advanced enough until recently to understand the tech hidden within them. Then, once they became scientifically literate enough, the Mithraics emerged from the shadows and rapidly gained followers by showing off their cool new tech.

no it was a hundred years or so from now the mythraics decoded the hidden messages, blue prints etc, and of course the whole world went ape shit when this tiny group started producing incredibly advanced shit, of course most of the world converted

When that setting discovers instructions on how to build advanced alien technology in ancient religious texts. Like if the Bible code was real.

it's a different reality since they imply that mithraics are an ancient religion

>of course most of the world converted

Seemed more like the mithraics were the minority with highly advanced toys and the rest of the world employed swarm tactics out of desperation.

Season 2 is so underwhelming...

No, it implies mithraicism is a rediscovered source of what influenced tons of European religions, everything from alchemy to zoroastrianism.

nah, the atheists were clearly super desperate, tehy allowed an AI to dictate tactics, the A.I, e.g. The Stand decide the most efficent way was to use child soilders/suicide bombers, agains the overwhelming power of the necromancers, it makes logical if a completely evil kind of sense, we see it do the same thing later with bio warfare, the atheists tactics were fucked up desperation Last Stand type

*Season 2 is fucking fantastic
ftfy

Reminder: the shot of nuked satellite arrays in the intro isn’t just there for looks.

You could only play snake and listen to shitty 64kbps mp3s on your phone just 15 years ago.
Assuming the depopulation plan fails and humanity somehow mades it and doesn't destroy itself in degeneracy, all of these seem possible in the next 100-200 years.

yea obviously the entire intro has a lot of info so do the carvings on the walls

the rate of technological change is actually decelerating thanks to rapidly declining global IQs

Making existent technology incrementally smaller isn’t the same thing as suddenly figuring out anti-gravity and FTL travel.

Global iq isn’t falling. More people are being tested.

global IQ is falling because Africa has the highest fertility rate

If you'd watched the show you'd know it didn't take place in the 22en century. Humans have been kicking around the universe for thousands to millions of years.

Earth was just another planet the ancient Mithraics settled.

the premise is, they decoded a massive amount of very real very viable blue prints to incredibly technology in the old "sacred text" planted by Sol thousands of years ago when he sent two androids from Keppler to Earth etc etc. so earth suddenly jumps from near future to far future tech but if you want it you either have to steal it or you gotta Praise Sol

Wasn’t talking about the show at

fuck yeah

This dude is fucking horrendous

Science fiction writers always make the same dumbass mistake of making shit way too advanced in the near future. Literally every science fiction movie set in the near future is like this. I don't know why people are so retarded about thinking shit is going to be magically super advanced in just a few decades.

uh no, mithraics are using ancient technocratic technology who were originally atheists. It's just been so long that the ancients are now worshipped religiously

but the user you were responding to was, what he was saying is even a little eap forward like that would seem incrdible to 10 yr old me playing b&w snake on an old pc, now imagine a literally massive sci-fi grade leap forward, but its only this one religious group who worships this ancient religion/text of course 90% of the worl dwould jump on board, they have perfected android tech, no more work androids are doing all that shit, and they are really good at it, just Praise Sol...wait your fighting? wtf? everyone seriously we've figured out FTL, just priase Sol...Holy shit children suicide bombers, ok here come Necromancers, now everyone cut ti fuck out and Praise Sol...Holy shit just stop, ok Necros time to purge the heretics

Its completely understandable

yes but he was talking about earth, you are going back into keppler history

This. They're even beating you over the head with it.
It's all a circular process.
>Religious wars between humans
>Leaves the humans godless and atheist
>They just find a new deity to worship
>Repeat ad infinitum
It's also interesting to note that Grandmother calls herself a "Shepherd", who's trying to lead humans down the same path as the last batch.

which in no way applies to this show, so fuck off with your nonsense

There is no reason to believe it's our future

they think that because of the before and after of the industrial revolution. a new, easy to build, highly versatile technology being applied at a large scale will change tons of shit, seemingly, overnight. we went from first fight to the moon in 66 years.

Ridley scott even did the same exact fuck himself with blade runner and apparently still didn't learn his lesson. Blade runner is set in something like 2016 and we were supposed to have flying cars and travelling to other planets kek.

The show argues that humans can never be truly atheistic, and they will always find something to believe in/worship in order to cope.
You see this in the show multiple times, as the human characters switch faith rapidly, especially in hopeless situations

so far there's only evidence of
>neanderthals come from kepler, settle earth, go extinct
>millions of years pass
>humans receive signal from kepler
>war

>ridley scott
phillip K dick

>>supposedly set in the 22nd century
It's not our 22nd century.

Agreed. Paul is so much more kino.

Indeed. However scott changed a bunch of shit in the movie to the point it was basically a completely different story besides the title. There was no reason he had to keep the same year.

>switch faith
that's an oxymoron. if you prayed to something, and it answered, and the answer was legitimate, you'd be insane to try to pretend that thing didn't exist.

marcus knows "sol" exists, he just doesn't trust it anymore.

>This dude is fucking horrendous
But Father is fantastic. That dude saves every episode he's in.

Yeah, but the interpretation of Sol and the religion is also fluid, as Marcus' branch of Mithraic religion is very different from the one at the start of the show.
And then there's the fact that once they realize it's not an all-seeing creator God, but "just" an alien signal, their interpretation and understanding of the religion changes. That's not to say they're no longer believers, but it becomes more tangible and real.

no one thought we'd just abandon space colonization. that whole "we do these things not because they are easy, but because they are hard" speech was a pretty huge deal. then watching his head explode was an even bigger breaker of spirit.
