I was going for a Diaspora-type "yeah let's progress technology and distribute our society to avoid extinction events but still the scourge of exponential growth must be avoided at all costs" but idk whether that's actually a viable option in-game.
I just got to one of the terminals where Athena was all "anti-nuke protesters R dum" and it all felt a bit reddit honestly. I'm about to finish the sixth island.
I appreciated that bit, but I think I read it differently. I thought they were trying to say that there was tons of outrage for nuclear power, but barely any for the nuclear bomb. I actually think that the game is about things like nuclear power - things that are dangerous (eg. meltdowns and bombs) but have the potential to improve lives. (I don't have a position on nuclear power specifically, just stating what I think the game is trying to say)
