- Bostock v. Clayton County (U.S. Supreme Court, 2020)
Today, we must decide whether an employer can fire someone simply for being homosexual or transgender. The answer is clear. An employer who fires an individual for being homosexual or transgender fires that person for traits or actions it would not have questioned in members of a different sex. Sex plays a necessary and undisguisable role in the decision, exactly what Title VII forbids.

Over time, the keycaps on your keyboard will accumulate oils and grime from your hours of existential crisis-inducing typing on this website. Naturally, you will want to clean the keycaps. But you should never be like me and use Lysol or Clorox wipes for this purpose! They leave a sticky and smooth residue that ruins the grippy texture of PBT or new ABS keycaps.

- Marx
The tl;dr for Karl Marx's theory of surplus value is that the rich exploit the poor by paying them less in wages than what their labor is really worth. If a worker at Taco Bell gets paid nine dollars an hour, the amount of money the worker makes for the corporation in an hour is actually higher. Other than the amount of time that a worker earns the nine dollars, the worker is enslaved.

- Laws
Laws are inherently conservative. It takes the same effort to abolish them as it takes to enact them, which weighs in favor of preserving the status quo. The workaround is to insert a "sunset provision" that says the law will expire on a given date.

- Past and future visions of the future
Since the advent of cinema, science fiction filmmakers have consistently concretized their visions of what life in the future might look like. As CGI constantly improves and VR becomes more mainstream, the visions become more tangible. Kubrick was already remarkably prescient in "2001," and now we have shows like the Expanse. We have Unreal Engine 5. As we improve our visions of the future, our predictions are altered. They become more accurate.
