I hope to read, and contemplate writing, an
SF story about technologically competent, genomic engineering NewAge humans living in a
fusion powered (solar reactor), hollowed out, waste~recycling
asteriod who are under siege by aliens or by an Empire of OldEarth.
These people would combine, in harmonious whole, the togetherness and
transcendent values of many of the 21st century NewAge
spiritual seeker groups with the science technical savvy found in
academic-industrial corporations. They would, in some ways, be like Vulcans in the Star Trek franchise. (Spock was science officer onboard the Enterprise)...
In reality ,at present, it seems to me, most members of
these two groups on the planet do not understand the other`s
language. On the one hand “Compassion”, “Nirvana”, on the
other “vectors” and “diodes”....If one envisions, not
science~fiction, but the remote possibility of an actual
technologically sophisticated community of spiritually advanced
humans in outer space who are not motivated by the old greeds and fears, the
different worlds of advanced religious practice and technical science
will somehow have to be practiced - not together which may be
illogical - but in the same persons.....
