I used to watch Family Matters. At some episode, Steve, the nerd, slept in the bathtub. It wasn’t long before Laura came by and rescued him. And then they had to share the bed. Nothing happened, of course, because it was 7 PM, and airing certain content would pose a certain problem in a theocracy. Especially in a theocracy.

In any case, Steve would get bashed by Laura (or her brother, whatever his name was) periodically, and then later she - Laura - will have a talk with someone, feel guilty and come to him - Steve - and apologize. That’s how most episodes went.

On the final episode, he went to space. He almost died, and, well, it was quite a shame to watch - because after all, you know it was going to end after that episode. Or was it the last episode? You get that feeling that you just don’t want to end it, but it’s really not under your control. It was a lot like finishing your ice-cream, only that you don’t think about finishing your ice-cream when you have it. But rather more like finishing a story, coming to a closing. You want it to go on for as long as you can, but the other side simply got tired of it.

Sitcoms are metaphors to things in the world. If we all watched sitcoms more, we’d all be old and wise. Cosby. Cosby sort of wise. Cosby just had a point in a way. Family values sort of thing.

Well after all Cosby’s stuff are aimed at mostly - what - adolescents?

I sort of had a thought (a late night thought session) about what a utopia might be, and how it might be possible. Don’t get me wrong, I want this little “theory” tested and poked, that’s the point of me posting it.

If one wouldn’t get discriminated for having certain qualities that person wouldn’t need to keep secrets from others. Therefor, freedom of information. And with that, we can share information equally - decentralization of information.

Then there’s monogamy. Without monogamy - which I believe will go away at a certain point - there will be no jealousy, no “people-property”. It fits within the “no intellectual property” mind-set if you think about it. So monogamy will phase out.

Then, perhaps if people can be kept alive forever, children would be unneeded. I’m thinking about places like Africa, India and China where child birth is a problem.

Perhaps at such state, the world can reach an equilibrium, and then “progress” as we know it will peacefully come to a stop.

Children were used as a sort of economical thing, think about farmers and so forth. To them a child is just an investment they’re making. Someone to work in their field and take care of it. So if we could have a labor force that will never die out (or at least - would not die from age) we can reach a the “Zen-state” and stay that way, with the same people.

If medicine would get so good that death would simply not be an option at all, it’ll be the ultimate state of mankind and evolution will stop, though I doubt that we can completely prevent death in the traditional sense. Perhaps just make the chances thinner or so.

And now it’s about time for me to go to sleep, since I’m pretty tired.

The lack of reason among animal protection advocates is absolutely record breaking.

It’s really nice, protecting animals (aaahh..), but what about a little plant that gets taken away from its home soil, chopped up, and served as a nice vegetarian animal-free salad. Animal free - or is it?

There is practically nothing thet seperates plants from animals, they breath, reproduce, feed and work in a similar manner to other organisms we consider “animals.” So the next time you eat a juicy organge, just think about the tree you took it from, and how much you hurt that tree. Just the fact that you don’t hear plants complain (not that animals complain much either) doesn’t mean they may not be suffering. (continue reading..)
