“But I believe that, as a species, human beings define their reality through misery and suffering. The perfect world was a dream that your primitive cerebrum kept trying to wake up from.” - Agent Smith, The Matrix
- Star Trek meets The Matrix. The crossover I never knew I needed.
Jesus fuck we have enough obstacles as it is!
this reminds me of the story where they grew trees in a perfect indoor environment and they all fell over.
no wind. the wind stresses the trees in a way that triggers a reaction to make some chemical or whatnot that is the structure of the tree. without the stress, they dont build enough support.
- So you're saying my underground tree farms in minecraft are unrealistic?
  
  Absolutely not, Minecraft is so close to reality that it is proof children yearn to work the mines and child labor laws have deprived them or their need.
- That’s not a story. That happened in the Biosphere. They gave us a presentation on it.
  
  ha, isnt that the definition of story?
  
  Do you have any sources? It sounds really interesting
You take away all obstacles and there's nothing to get in our way of thriving. I know people want to look on the bright side of things, but there is no downside to having no problems at all (problems coming up later to challenge weaknesses is not "no problems").
Honestly, I plan on retiring to Costa Rica or some beach in Portugal or something where the most work I do is ordering another cocktail. I will, it’s true, be actively withering and dying, but I’d be doing the same if I was a door checker at Walmart, and probably a lot faster.
If anyone would like some obstalces, I think I may have picked up too many, going free
I wonder if, by obstacles, he meant morons.
Because it fits perfectly, but I'm not certain I agree with the conclusion.
Wasn't that the motivation of the villain in the third Kelvinverse timeline?
Starship troopers variant:
Our species can only survive with a shared enemy
- I want to know more...
I like that. It's deeper than it seems on first sight
Or we'll get really creative about football.
- What... the hell?
  
  I've read it but I can't answer that. But I'll tell you this, if it comes true I'm homesteading in Game 27 for at least 2000 years.
