This one can be measured pretty empirically. You read a quote and then see whether you cringed or not. The anon did cringe, and so it thusly goes.

Only science fiction has ever made me want to visit another city, but the book The Rings of Saturn made me want to do a walking tour of Suffolk.

Why do people like this picture? The future will be boringly simple, if I have to estimate.

I remember having a very frustrating conversation, once, about how that tree could have grown out of that box, and now I simply can't tolerate having to read words while looking at it. Sorry, OP, whatever your post is about; I can't help you.

It's good but the lazy aesthetic is not so much a lazy aesthetic as it is just plain lazy. It's unimpressive and lacks the formality expected of a scholar who respects his own ideas.

It turns out heaven is just the future but we resurrected everybody or just made replicas of their consciousness, so you didn't actually make it to heaven, not the you that has these memories, I mean, but an inexact genetic replica pretty much did, and you're that replica, now, and so, hi, replica, welcome to life. Grats on not being the first version of you. And, plus the only reason we do this is because you've got all these rich philanthropist -moguls- who are taking tips of this old borrowed Hebraic-U.S.A. philosophy of 'the making of life is inherently good', and so we think it's their right to spend money on whatever they like if it's not hurting anybody; so there's just all these retarded resurrection charities that are allowed to make clones of historical people so long as they look after the clones, and they're such Holier Than Thou, Noblesse Oblige, motherfuckers that I don't even know how you guys stand them or if you do or if you're not just killing them and cloning yourselves in their place which, wink, is what I'd do, because oh my god they are just fucking insufferable. So, yeah, anyway, ha ha; welcome to heaven.

Everyone's brain has been transplanted into a robot, and, in order to keep the brain from diverting its attention from the course of productivity, instruments of torture/operant conditioning are included in the robot's 'head'-cavity and are applied automatically when the 'person' becomes distracted, all of which is necessary because, as it turned out, the progress of A.I.-technology climaxed before its expected pinnacle, no further innovations being available. There is one alien species, therefore, that harvests the brains of other species and uses them as pain-fuelled robot-batteries. We are now one of those 'other species'.

What is it with you guys and using the dystopia as a medium for your political ideas? It's weird.

I don't know about him, but I have depression-like symptoms. Does this mean that I am depressed?
