Exploring philosophical themes in sci-fi and the potential for skewing conclusions

Sci-fi is uniquely perfect for exploring philosophical issues./nThere's much more potential in science fiction to engage people's emotions and make it into a compelling story compared to standard philosophy thought experiments./nThere's a risk of vastly skewing people's conclusions about what is likely to happen in the real world or what they care about through science fiction./nDystopian or horrifying stories are more likely to be told in science fiction as they make for more interesting movies./nThere is a selection bias in the types of stories told in science fiction with only a small subset of the possible futures being told.
