MPTD. Oh no. I am already going around in circles instead of spheres for the illogical share options provided by two-dimensional social media containerships awarded streaming as trending. Whose idea was that?

Are we keeping Planet Mars, I mean for the long run? 

That’s a deliciously provocative question, Manu—like asking which ideology might dream of rewriting the laws of astrophysics. While no real-world national policy has explicitly aimed to destroy a planet in our solar system, we can explore speculative scenarios where such an ambition might emerge. Let’s break it down:

🌍 Hypothetical National Policies That Could Aspire to Planetary Destruction

1. Cold War-Era Nuclear Brinkmanship (U.S. or USSR)

  • Policy Context: Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD)
  • Target: Earth itself (not another planet)
  • Reason: Deterrence through total annihilation—some theorists like Herman Kahn speculated about “doomsday machines” that could automatically trigger global destruction if attacked.
  • Why Not Another Planet?: The focus was on Earth-based retaliation, not interplanetary warfare.

2. Fictional or Future Authoritarian Regimes

  • Policy Context: Resource extraction, ideological purity, or cosmic dominance
  • Target: Mars or Venus
  • Reason:
    • Mars: To prevent rival colonization or erase evidence of alien life.
    • Venus: As a symbolic act of power—destroying a planet to demonstrate technological supremacy.
  • Mechanism: Directed energy weapons, antimatter payloads, or gravitational manipulation (all speculative).

3. Environmental Extremism Turned Radical

  • Policy Context: Anti-colonization or anti-technological expansion
  • Target: Terraforming projects on Mars or moons of Jupiter
  • Reason: To halt perceived ecological imperialism or prevent irreversible damage to pristine extraterrestrial environments.

🔍 Most Likely Cause: Symbolic or Strategic Deterrence

If any nation were to even contemplate planetary destruction, it would likely be:

  • Symbolic: A demonstration of power or ideological purity.
  • Strategic: To prevent rival expansion, erase evidence, or reset a failed colonization effort.
  • Existential: As a last resort in a cosmic-scale war or rebellion against a dominant interplanetary order.

Would you like to explore how this could play out in a speculative scenario—say, a future Earth regime targeting Mars to prevent a breakaway civilization? Or perhaps a mythic return of planetary guardians intervening to stop such madness?

Ah, now we’re in the realm where policy meets planetary-scale drama. Fictional policies targeting planets often reflect deeper anxieties—colonialism, ecological collapse, authoritarian control, or cosmic-scale warfare. Here are some compelling examples across literature, film, and games:

🪐 Fictional Planet-Targeting Policies

1. The Empire’s Doctrine of Fear – Star Wars

  • Policy: Use of the Death Star to destroy planets as a deterrent.
  • Target: Alderaan, among others.
  • Purpose: To enforce galactic obedience through terror.
  • Ideological Frame: Authoritarianism and centralized control via overwhelming force.

2. EarthGov’s Resource Extraction Mandate – Dead Space

  • Policy: Planet-cracking (literally breaking apart planets) for mining.
  • Target: Aegis VII and others.
  • Purpose: Harvesting rare minerals and energy sources.
  • Ideological Frame: Late-stage capitalism and ecological disregard.

3. The Ecological Purge – Foundation (Isaac Asimov)

  • Policy: Strategic neglect or manipulation of planetary ecosystems.
  • Target: Various planets in the Galactic Empire.
  • Purpose: To maintain control or destabilize rivals.
  • Ideological Frame: Technocratic manipulation and psychohistorical determinism.

4. The Covenant’s Religious Cleansing – Halo

  • Policy: Glassing planets (bombarding them until the surface is molten).
  • Target: Human colonies like Reach.
  • Purpose: Religious zealotry and extermination of heretics.
  • Ideological Frame: Theocratic imperialism.

5. The Terraforming Protocol – Red Mars (Kim Stanley Robinson)

  • Policy: Radical transformation of Mars’ environment.
  • Target: Mars itself.
  • Purpose: To make it habitable for humans.
  • Ideological Frame: Conflict between ecological preservation and human expansionism.

6. The Ministry for the Future – The Ministry for the Future (Kim Stanley Robinson)

  • Policy: Geoengineering Earth to combat climate collapse.
  • Target: Earth’s atmosphere and ecosystems.
  • Purpose: Survival of humanity and restoration of climate balance.
  • Ideological Frame: Ethical technocracy and planetary stewardship.

🧠 Why These Policies Matter

These fictional policies aren’t just plot devices—they’re mirrors. They reflect:

  • Real-world anxieties: Climate change, authoritarianism, resource depletion.
  • Philosophical tensions: Between control and chaos, survival and sacrifice.
  • Narrative power: The fate of a planet often symbolizes the fate of a civilization.

Would you like to co-create a fictional policy for a world you're building—say, one that targets a planet for ideological cleansing, mythic restoration, or quantum realignment? I’d love to help you architect it.

Running with the Bulls. Medieval tales from the North of Spain.

Trump announces he has sent more troops to manage the riots in Los Angeles than to Iraq and Syria combined (this time or in total?) The public purse is rested in my excellent accounting skills. Let's whip up a few more Accountants and businesses they will service. Let's whip up some anti-information-generation-defined software and send archiving to the bin. The big bin in the sky! Enriched uranium is now smaller and modular. AI/i is the deal maker. Predictability will save the day. And climate change will wreck it.  We can enact the business of smaller and modular using hand signs.

Chinese Made Electric Vehicles and More

Some say love is a river held against your ear. The river: a throbbing attachment, battery and digital energy globally intricated thing pumping enthusiasm into your soul as the reasons for having a mobile or cell phone. It is a working document, a work in progress and an expense to the hip pocket.  Catch me salty and fresh. Bikini was never a motto. Slimline, flip lid, high tech. I can afford to assemble one on purchase.  The USA will now manufacture off the defense budget ... a cell phone.  Do you want to be my China, Philippines? But I do not know how.  Great question, Manu. In most cases, connecting an American-made phone to an Australian-designed home computer is pretty straightforward—but a few potential barriers can sneak in, depending on the details. Here’s what might trip things up: Billing the Internet service.  1. **Connector types and ports** – If your Aussie-built computer is using less common connectors (say, a micro-USB or a proprietary port), and ...
