No it's already pretty stupid, but i can explain it, if you can take the brain damage.

Ngmi is bay area VC nazi speak for 'not gonna make it', sometimes a noun ("all these NGMI's on the street scare me") as a way to separate themselves from the people they fuck over so they don't have to feel anything. Basically the worst people in the state.

There's a tendency among that same set to see their favorite scifi stories as 'logic' because of course nobody anywhere has had a moment of humanities efucation since 1914. I would argue it should be classed as a mental illness, and is ehy we keep getting the vc set doing shit from dystopian novels like it's cool and good.

Paolo Bacigalupi is a fiction writer whose biggest basic formula is 'write a near-future extremely-pulp story with realistic/likely ecological devastation as the backdrop' so he gets more taken more seriously than he should in all the ways hes not trying to and none of the ways he is. One of his better known works is 'the water knife' a pulp novel about a much later stage of the water wars of the american southwest. Kind of similar vibe as 'blade runner 2049' but that was a masterpiece, and hes just competent/a bit good but socially important; nothing he writes is quite that profound.

So 'read this fiction writer trying to make idiots pay attention to impotant shit nonfiction writers were hammering alarm bells about thirty years ago or dont even talk to me' is kind of the most cringe way one could say 'learn about these structural forces wnd impending challenges that im very pessimistic about' without acknowledging that structural forces exist.

Im pointing out that there are sociopathic assholes here who are totally willing to throw your¹ filthy texan life away for the same reason you're¹ willing to throw all these poor people who need help under the bus.

¹hypothetical you, who is both a texan and a piece of shit. They've got a spectacular ass, though.
