I recall seeing a video of her as a young university student, making a fairly progressive speech with what seemed like some actual passion - so perhaps she started out as a far better person than who she became.

...but it does mean she's just American Liz Truss.

It's very, very, similar to GURPS Transhuman Space - mainly adding Cortical Stacks from Altered Carbon, spessmagic, and an apocalypse.

There wouldn't be many problems just running the setting with THS.

But another part is ironically the decentralization of research effort as it is privatized.

A negative decentralisation of research into redundant and insular walled gardens, alongside techbro cults? Clearly this is a precursor to the Adeptus Mechanicus.

Semi-serious, because I would like it: The most anarchic of creatures are the cat and the various cephalopods, and thus the highest awards possible are a lil' sleepy cat pin, octopus tentacle holding a hammer, or cuddlefish.

Agreed, but e-scooter rollouts have basically fuckall integration with the existing infrastructure/forms of travel in a city or with standard driving education.

While they're great in theory, they should be being introduced as part of a massive overhaul of personal transportation infrastructure, education, and regulation... or at least some supervision with actual teeth behind it. But we're probably past the age of doing stuff like that, so as is it's just letting random companies step in to extract money while impinging on the rough grey area created by existing safety systems.

Eventually that'll work itself out, sure, but in much the same way that we started mandating lockout switches on Giant Blending Machines after The Incident With the Giant Blending Machine.

It's not a story the Confucians would tell you.

The question at the heart of Atlas Posted, "Who is John Tankie?".

That perilous yellow haze in the photo proves it to be the work of that dastardly paragon of scientific cunning - the Fiendish Dr Food Munchu.
