it’s been over 500 years…. wonder what would happen when the 600th anniversary comes…
@the slitty eye – “wonder what would happen when the 600th anniversary comes…”
big party at my house! (^_^) (after they wake me up from my cryogenic sleep. (~_^) i sure hope the future is not like idiocracy.)
Hey, don’t be a patriarchal hegemon.
Columbus was a corporate Christian capitalist who supported animal testing and Wal-Mart. Everybody knows that.
@olave – “Everybody knows that.”
oh, oops! silly me. i forgot. (^_^)
“i sure hope the future is not like idiocracy”
Do you think a dysgenia scenario like in Idiocracy is possible in the future?
When I saw this video of Putin riding a three-wheeled motorcycle I couldn’t help thinking of a scene in Idiocracy where President Camacho is doing the same. :)
@francois – “Do you think a dysgenia scenario like in Idiocracy is possible in the future?”
well, it’s certainly possible. altho i doubt that people will be irrigating crops with gatorade — at least i hope not! (~_^) whether or not a dysgenic scenario for the future is likely is another question — and one that i can’t answer! certainly evolution is not directional — it doesn’t always lead to smarter or what we might consider better. the future could easily look like india — or hong kong — prolly a mix. who knows?
@francois – “When I saw this video of Putin riding a three-wheeled motorcycle I couldn’t help thinking of a scene in Idiocracy where President Camacho is doing the same. :)”
heh! i didn’t see that at the time, but now i can’t unsee it! thnx! ’cause it’s funny. (^_^)
“the future could easily look like india — or hong kong — prolly a mix. who knows?”
So in the India scenario the average IQ people as we know it are a vanishing breed? I should be put in the endangered species list. ;)
Where I am, Putin would be arrested for not wearing a helmet. :)
” the future could easily look like india — or hong kong — prolly a mix. who knows?”
Hong Kong is much,,, much much better than India. I don’t get your reference in this sentence. As much as I don’t very much appreciate the mentality of Hong Kong people (living there for 4 years), it is a well-organized and structured society that is at least comfortable to live, except for being a bit too crowded. It’s the same level of Singapore in my view.
@the slitty eye – “Hong Kong is much,,, much much better than India. I don’t get your reference in this sentence.”
don’t blame you — i was kinda rambling when i wrote that comment.
what i meant was that the future could go either way — be a bit of a mess like india, or good like hong kong. (^_^)
