From the press release: In this ground-breaking new history of early America, historian Robert Zimmerman not only exposes the lie behind The New York Times 1619 Project that falsely claims slavery is central to the history of the United States, he also provides profound lessons about the nature of human societies, lessons important for Americans today as well as for all future settlers on Mars and elsewhere in space.
Conscious Choice: The origins of slavery in America and why it matters today and for our future in outer space, is a riveting page-turning story that documents how slavery slowly became pervasive in the southern British colonies of North America, colonies founded by a people and culture that not only did not allow slavery but in every way were hostile to the practice.
Conscious Choice does more however. In telling the tragic history of the Virginia colony and the rise of slavery there, Zimmerman lays out the proper path for creating healthy societies in places like the Moon and Mars.
“Zimmerman’s ground-breaking history provides every future generation the basic framework for establishing new societies on other worlds. We would be wise to heed what he says.” —Robert Zubrin, founder of founder of the Mars Society.

It does, and it doesn’t.
She’s extremely gifted, a rapper worthy of the acclaim she’s earned from all the right (leftist) pundits. Poor thing, life has been intense for her lately, because of the distressing political situation in Britain. She’s extremely fearful of UKIP gaining power.
danae: Why does everything have to be political? I listened to her poem, and saw it for what is was, a well crafted dramatic rendition of the human condition in a mysterious universe.
In this case, I don’t give a whit what her politics are. She produced a work of art, and I respect that above all.
Why does everything have to be political? With all due regard for your customary fairness, Bob, that may be a question better asked of Ms. Tempest. I respect her aptitude for writing and performing, and I respect your evaluation of her work.
