There’s a lot to unpack, and the character, Lysella’s story on the Orville makes it all hit a little closer to home. 00:00 Lysella in Space 02:37 Beyond Scarcity 06:13 To Save a Planet 12:25 After Labour 15:57 Sci-fi as Science And check out the books of Kohei Saito, Yanis Varoufakis, and Daniel Deudney!
