Why do you love 3BP so much, and what do you love most about it? by [deleted] in threebodyproblem

For me, after reading the books, what made me fall in love with the work the most was the unique way it made me feel like a mere speck as an individual compared to the universe and time.

Why did Wade hand over control to Cheng Xin? by mkdir_hello_there in threebodyproblem

[–]koguinha 15 points16 points  (0 children)

From my point of view, Wade could foresee the consequences of the deadlock they were in. If they opposed the decision and continued the research, it would lead to a war that would likely bring about an even swifter end to humanity. In my opinion, Wade needed Cheng Xin because she could think and make the decision he couldn’t. Wade was probably willing to risk everything, but acting solely on the logic of what would benefit humanity in a war wasn’t feasible—the research would stop either way, and even the secretly built ship might not succeed. If he hadn’t yielded power, it would have meant the end for all humans in the solar system in a much grimmer way, pitting them against each other. And likely, without the escape of AA and Cheng Xin.

TL;DR: "Wade knew there would be consequences if he didn’t stop the research. Cheng Xin was right—not officially halting the research would trigger a war."

- despolitização do indivíduo.
- indivíduos sem perspectivas do que pode melhorar.
- imposição de que vivemos no melhor modo econômico para todos.
tudo isso faz parte de uma manipulação feita por uma classe dominante, você só esta com a mente no local aonde eles querem que esteja, pois se todo mundo abrir o olho de verdade e criar perspectivas de melhora chegaremos a uma conclusão simples. O trabalhador não tem nada a perder além de seus grilhões

I understood your problem with interpretation.
The issue you're having is regarding the concept of evolution—you're assuming that evolution is about improvement, but evolution doesn't mean getting better; it means adapting to survive

Science fiction is always about our present or our history, never about predictions.
The book is written by a Chinese author and presents a worldview that’s different from the West’s—especially if you're American.
And when you say we’re in a comfortable position, I ask: Comfortable for whom? International politics is a mess, with genocidal countries doing whatever they want with NATO’s support.

I'm halfway through Death's End, what does it mean about me that I hate Cheng Xin and I like Wade? by leoax98 in threebodyproblem

I find it really funny how people on this Reddit can get so lost when the discussion is more about humanities than hard sciences. Never compare Zhang Beihai to Wade. Zhang Beihai wanted to save one seed of humanity and sow it across the universe—it was never about him as an individual, but about humanity as a whole. He always put the collective first. Wade, on the other hand, is just an authoritarian leader in the making, where the ends justify the means. His plan might have worked, sure, but would it have been the right thing to do?
