If the punishment for doing nothing is death, the punishment for speaking up is death, and the punishment for acting out is death… Well what’s stopping the masses from breaking out the guillotines?
Oh right, tons of us are still under the illusion of some kind of social contract being honored by all parties, and are so afraid of losing what little scraps they have they don’t want to stick their heads up after seeing so many get beaten down.
I want Star Trek, not Mad Max or Water World.
But like… Skip ww3 and the eugenics stuff… And the romulan and klingon wars…
The utopian future where energy is renewable and replicators make SCARCITY the only thing that’s scarce.
