I've hit this with science fiction. Used to be willing to suspend disbelief for nearly anything just to get a sci-fi fix... but... eh. So much of it is just transplanting modern sensibilities and relations into a fantastic setting. And sure, most "far future" stories are really just reflections of the era in which they're written in. That's fine if the author actually has something to say about that. But a lot of sci-fi just... doesn't.
Also I'm done with the computational theory of mind. Those depths have been well and truly plumed, can we give it a rest? Panpsychism is my new friend, if only because there's a lot untapped narrative potential.
