Video Description
Support me: https://www.patreon.com/c/MarcusWernerJournalism IG: https://www.instagram.com/mwjournalism/ In this video essay, I explore what The Orville reveals about life after capitalism, why scarcity is such a driving force in our current system, and how sci-fi holds up a mirror to our own society. 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!
