A century of science fiction that changed how we think about the environment

I want to suck Fauci's dick and then I want to suck Biden's dick.

Kamala can't join - she's already sucked enough dick.

> It has become axiomatic to say that the world is becoming like science fiction. [...]

Says a claim is axiomatic, and then immediately proceeds to justify the claim.

Either this author doesn't know what "axiomatic" means, or the same sort of thing that happened to "literally" is now happening to "axiomatic".

Why is this necessarily so? If something is self-evident, does that prevent one from commenting on how we arrived at that state? The author is not trying to convince the reader that it is axiomatic that the world has become like sf. The author is telling a story about how the world has become like sf and how the world has the potential to become like climate change sf (or already has).

This is probably true. It's axiomatic that an english concept will be both misused, and is mutable across time.
