I’m not sure if Heinlein genuinely thought it would be rad. He did play around with a lot of ideas in his books. Stranger in a Strange Land is totally different and full on hippie communism or whatever you’d call it, which is in a bit of a contrast to Starship Troopers. And then there’s the Finnish matriarchy in one of the books. Of course another explanation was that he just radically changed his minds but I dunno.
Interesting stuff, nevertheless and IMO really good book if you like military scifi.
Also HOLY SHIT did the man like to write about his own kinks.
The spanking I can get past, but the extensive genetic analysis in “The Tale of the Twins Who Weren’t” in Time Enough for Love was a tad… indulgent of something.

How do you world build if you don’t feature your kinks prominently, front and center?
Imagine if you will, a ring that could render you completely invisible to the naked eye…

He was just ahead of time.
Which is unfortunate because it’s an otherwise fun read
