re GR Title

[Peter A Watts]

so, by this argument the book should perhaps be titled Inertia's Rainbow.
and rather than saying 'the ascent will be betrayed to gravity' one 
should say it will be betrayed to sloth or comfort.
i don't know; this answer is truer than what the book is about but it 
lacks the gothic beauty of fatalism. indeed the whole substance of GR 
becomes little more than middle age melancholy in this view. 
relativity says to death "aah, that's just for sucks. once friction is 
done burning the rocket away after years of traveling at 'terminal' velocity
you'll learn to travel light (as it were)."
But of course there's no pigs in space, nor slothrops. and i stand by my 
earlier assertion that by earth standards of debauchery and comfort 
heaven is kinda all spacey and thin. it's sorta like the difference 
between drinking earths thick nectar, or a cold pepsi perhaps, and drinking
sun tea without the tea in it.
but i'm still a pig so maybe its just teenage immaturity.
surprising how much relativity stands in contrast to the newton and 
calvin of GR. it's answer is "enhhh, it just kinda depends on who you are."
Weissman's tarot is better than slotrop's, and better still is that of 
the watchers at sea.

happy ha ha.
