Not weird at all, just a different perspective they weren’t previously aware of. One group I know of that does this is people who follow stoicism. Memento mori!

Is it considered a technological advancement to remove something which exists now and actively makes life worse? I’d like to remove “health insurance” as a concept

That last part is driving me crazy with frustration. If I identify a health hazard in my life, I take reasonable precautions against it, but when the whole system is inundated with that same issue, its hard to feel like you’re aligned with “society”. Like you said, it’s literally in everything we eat, drink and do. I’ll continue to support the plastics industry as little as possible, but it still has a stranglehold on industry. I’ve heard some promising reports from India about new developments in more sustainable packaging, but nothing’s hit the mainstream yet.
It feels inevitable that our descendents will eventually say “holy shit, you stored your FOOD in it?!”, after we discover we’ve been literally killing ourselves the whole time
Or just after gaining weight. ☹️
Yeah the way I see it is that even Douglas himself didn’t quite have a single vision in his mind about the story, which is why there are so many iterations (radio, book, movie, tv series, musical? Am I forgetting anything?)
The Trigger Happy TV moment when the phone rings, and you just imagine “HELLO? HELLO?! NO, MATE, I’M BEING DIGESTED! WHAT? NO IT’S CRAP” 😁
Ha ha Terry Pratchett especially, but also Stephen King sometimes disagree 🙂
I adopted this years ago so I could tell the difference between a 1 and a 7 😁
