>the most famous chinese work of science fiction is about how everyone wants to kill everyone else
Lol, lmao
>>
>>25599487
That's not at all accurate.
>>
>>25599487
No, the aliens were trying to kill humans to capture lebensraum since their home world was going to be catastrophically destroyed.

And the Chinawoman traitor was trying to get humans killed because the Maoist society was so evil and deranged that total annihilation seemed a better solution.

Two civilizations literally broker a truce because one threatens to shout out loud enough that some third unknown civilization might become aware of both of them. The invading civilisation backs off because they're afraid of being wiped out if they're discovered. How is that not neurotic levels of paranoia?

>women ruin everything, the trilogy

>>25599575
Nice changing the goalposts. The trilogy is about how lack of trust and fear of others can end the universe.

There's an old videogame called Starflight that was on PC but I think most people played on a Sega Genesis port. In the game there's a race of alien cockroaches called The Veloxi. They're fairly xenophobic, decent engineers, bad artists, and if you get the right artifact they become much nicer to you. Basically what you would expect from bug people.

It helps to understand the Chinese if you think of them that way. Like a race of bug people.

Explain how Dark Forest Theory isn't completely rational in a game theoretical scenario right fucking now.
>>
>>25599688
Those "bug people" are outcompeting you retarded whites in pretty much every important metric, even in your own countries

>Chinese
>famous work

There is only ONE and that is not it.

The best example is a nation of survival slave ants toiling away in the same spot, eating the same unsanitary food, all for the Queen. Killing themselves to carry back a potato chip in their misery. All look the same, all think the same, all NPC bots.

>>25599694
Chinese art is ugly. The music is high pitched screeching. Their best is only copycats of Western technique which they fall woefully short of. Any attempts at literature are empty and slave-like with emotional effects.

1. Space is too large for it to matter.

2. Dark Forest is totally pointless once von neumann probes start infecting the universe

3. Combination of the above, when a local cluster goes "dark" from being turned into dyson spheres/ matrioshka brains, do you really want to fuck with them? or do you want to just build you own?

Maybe future civilizations would fight over long term black hole farming, but it seems just as likely that they would cooperate at that point

>decent engineers
How come a bridge built by dumb whities almost a hundred years ago across an ocean strait in a seismically active zone stands for almost a hundred years, while Chinamen's bridge collapse after a few years?
>>
>>25599783
China has buildings that have stood longer than any European nation has existed
>>
>>25599783
I said they're decent engineers. Not good ones.

A major bridge isn't in the mind of a Chinaman. How to streamline the manufacturing of a cigarette lighter so you can undercut your competition by a fraction of a cent is.

Bug stuff.

>There is only ONE and that is not it.
Which is?

>>25599789
I would be amiss if I didn't point out that you sidestepped my question.
>>
>>25599694
Imagine you're letting your daughter fold clothes with you while you're doing the laundry. She is matching and folding socks faster than you and is constantly comparing her pile of socks to yours. That is what the Chinese are doing in the world economy. 90% of global stock capitalization is the US stock market. They're working for the same 15 families we're all working for, and none of those families are Chinese.

>>25599763
Bunch of good poems around 700AD, but basically a pitch black dark age since then.
>>
>>25599487
have you read the most famous chinese work of historical fiction?

you gweilo have forgotten what real competition looks like
>>
>>25599692
Because it starts with a flawed premise, the Fermi paradox. The amount of time we've been monitoring for extra terrestrial signals has been too short to make any kind of grand, hubristic statement about how we are alone. It's like looking at one small patch of sand and concluding that there are no pearls on the entire beach.
