The philosophy of Robert Heinlen

165 viewsOther

I’m quite familiar with the Starship Troopers franchise, but it’s been described as a parody of Heinlen’s work rather than being true to it.

What were his philosophies, and were they actually so fascist and controversial that all the movies based on his work had to be made into parodies?

They vary a lot over the years but basically they support anyone being allowed to do anything so long as it does not cause unnecessary harm to anyone else. And what doesn’t does not cause unnecessary harm or very depending upon one situation. So if you are in a situation where you can make sure your children don’t have double unhealthy alleles, you can afford to have sex with a close relative.

Obviously this gets more and more complicated the more you think about it. And eventually it just does not end up working at all.
