@sflorg in today's episode, a pre-war scientist had built a bunker to record news channels through the seemingly inevitably impending war, and did so because he had an experimental time machine. So he hurles himself forward safely past the Fallout, finds his lab, grabs the files, returns hoping to stop the cause of the war.

On news of his return, war-primed nations learn of successful time travel and the scuffle to ban it ignites the war. #logansrun

Lately I've been revisiting this old tv series. It's about two young people smart enough to figure out the game is rigged so they give up luxury modern living and take their chances on The Outside in search of something unknown, simply called Sanctuary.

Not entirely sure why I dug it out

I am truly sorry to read this my good friend xx

But I do not agree with you.

earlier in the program you had Kendall talking about the economically inactive

It's not a big jump to see where this falls

Add in a little #eugenics where we write off the #disabled along with those over 30 and #LogansRun would be a total #Covid template

Where do we run to?

@jonny @moira Traumatized, hadn't seen violent death before, her boss that she idolized was lasered up in front of her, by the machine she'd thought was so cool. She was even upset before that, when she saw her boss was going to kill that guy she thought was cute (she'd told him she liked dark hair). And then the cute guy pushed her idol boss into the laser. She just wanted to help people be their best beautiful selves! She needs some quiet time and hugs and hydration. #LogansRun #Monsterdon

@jonny That's certainly one way you could take it, yeah. I think there are others, too, but that one's valid.

@jonny Actually also:

"since it never actually selected people to reproduce by their fitness (as far as i noticed?"

There's a specific mention early on about Logan speculating about who his _biological child's egg donor would be_, not specifically in those words but in that meaning.

Computer _was_ selecting, though along what axis we don't know.

@jonny We know a few things, though:

1. They have people who do actually run things.

2. They are not stagnant, technologically. That NuYou surgery suite was a _new model_. The latest one.

3. They have maintenance staff in other ways too.

4. People in general have jobs.

This strongly implies to me that they have an IT class, which gets back to the initial structure: that they get to picking up the pieces, find what went wrong _before_, and fix it.

@jonny Well, that, and I don't think Computer cared much about it. I don't see it having a sexuality or anything of the sort. It'd be much more focused on the big picture.

"Hm, they like the sex. Is it affecting city systems. No. Well, that's fine, have fun with that."
