I briefly considered it, along with calls for mass institutionalization, but thought I was being pointlessly doomer since it's obviously blatantly unconstitutional, anti-freedom, and too wrong even for MAGA to support.
we're... 9 months in? fuck I'm boned.
Peking (KNT) -Chinese at one time experimented with fertilizing a chimpanzee with human sperm in an attempt to create a "near -human ape," and they may try it again. The chimp was three months pregnant before the first experiment was halted, one of the original researchers claims. Western science long has scoffed at such an experiment as medically impossible, but Dr. Ji Yongxiang says the research, if it ever resumes, has the potential to develop creatures with higher animal intelligence who could speak and perform simple tasks. A second researcher at the Chinese Academy of Science said there were plans to resume testing.
the Soviet Union had a similar organization, with the same name (in English, anyway - it was Komsomol.) Its motto was "Be Prepared!"
I'm honestly not sure how different it is than the Boy/Girl Scouts, except maybe with more political indoctrination.
whoa, I just realized this is basically the left-lib equivalent of the NAP.
unpopular opinion: Republicans are using Jews the same way Democrats used trans people - as pawns they pretend to care about, then use as an excuse to attack their opponents. Jews will be left holding the bag, the way trans people were. this is the danger of letting fake allies speak for you.
they meant well! honestly Esperanto has a really positive community, even still. but I can see how it'd get on someone's nerves.
Walter White in back seat of car: Jesse! Don't abbreviate Mothers Against Pedophilia! Jesse!!"
Newspeak was inspired by Esperanto, because George Orwell had an annoying Esperantist roommate. "bad" in Esperanto is "malbone," literally "un-good." "terrible" in Esperanto is "malbonege," literally "very ungood."
Chinese scientists worked to create the "humanzee," a human-chimpanzee hybrid in the '60s. Female chimpanzees were impregnated with human sperm. The experiment was cut short by the Cultural Revolution - the scientists were sent to labor camps and a three-months pregnant chimpanzee died of neglect. The Soviets attempted a similar program in the '20s.
slavery wouldn't ever be voluntary, since any rational person would only decide to sell themself into slavery due to material hardship, so they'd be a victim and the slaveowner would profit from their suffering, thereby indirectly funding the economic conditions that led to slavery. and any irrational person would lack the mental capacity to have signed such a contract. in either case the contract would be unconscionable, rendering it invalid.
Hive minds would be a superior form of consciousness than lone individual minds. If the technology ever materializes, we should install brain implants to create a form of wireless telepathy, allowing the sharing of senses, ideas, knowledge, feelings and subsume our self-awareness into group awareness, like little Borg cubes.
if I were magically made dictator somehow, no I don't think so. but I'm not cutthroat enough to become a dictator in the first place.
