This sort of low effort post, we can all recognize right?

Read the book series. Battle with a culture different than your own. The absolute depression by the third book helps you experience this more than this bullshit Cliff’s notes.

Spend a few hours. Jesus.

Are you expecting people will 'just' read the three books to get the context of "dark forest" and then come back to this post after that?

Yes. If they want to understand the author they should spend time with the author (via the books).

I didn’t draw the original premise. I just pointed out that they didn’t understand the Dark Forest. At all.

And yes, Greg was 100% about grappling with the nuances. One of the smartest men I’ve known.

We had an awesome book club talking about historical sci-fi and modernity. He always saw the optimistic side, how humanity could conquer, but I, child of Amazon, could see the end-stage capitalism.

Makes for fantastic dialogue. Read the book series. It’s worth it!
