But what about when you get old and wrinkled, and you haven't optimized time for learning skills? You will be deserted, won't you?
I like the idea. But if you have the knowledge that they are tracking you, why even participate in the app? I get it that all your friends do it, but that's terrible excuse. You don't become a social pariah.

awesome!
What if religions were just the self help theories that survived the erosion of time?
I feel like people tailor their lives around their children for the most part. During December, most people tend to just take their vacation to coincide with their children's.
Yeah being a late reader, I see that I could have done a lot better in English class if I had read more as a child.

Sorry to do this, but then what is Art?

Movies are made by corporations backed by millions of dollars. There have been incredible moments that I've experienced in video games, whether it be a cutscene, or gameplay. I've been moved to emotion. In awe.

Perhaps television fucked my head up too much, but shouldn't a society where women have equal pay, get rid of all this animal hierarchy bullshit and find someone they actually connect with? Is the divorce rate still 50%? Is all of this just to spit out a child?
