Chrysalis sees a universe that is infinitely hostile and infinitely diverse, and still believes humans should colonize every inch of it. It believes that the only way to do this is by expanding the definition of what it means to be human. In extremes, that means shedding the human body completely through radical cybernetics or brain uploading. Chrysalis prefers distributed systems and improvisation. It realizes that things will inevitably change, that information is always imperfect, and that it will change along with it.
Chrysalis worlds are full of biotechnology, gengineered interventions in the local environment, improvised structures, and organic-looking buildings. Structures and technology are often grown, not assembled; sometimes by genetically tailored organisms, sometimes by nanotechnology. Chrysalis tries to make the most of every environment, no matter how hostile and unpleasant it may seem to outsiders.
Chrysalis thinks Dome is miserablist and suicidally narrow in its thinking. It’s also deeply suspicious of Star’s utopian tendencies.

Jack is a master of the sublte. Epic in scale and delicate in delivery, often turning emotions on a short sequence of notes. I wish they would embrace singing more as well because The Balad of Sister Rust and Tell Me are both incredible examples of their talent and ability. hazelforgotten
