[SIZE=-1]The Repugnant Conclusion. It's the true horror of any living thing. It's worth a novel. Would anybody like to help me tackle this horror of reality? Since I don't have the energy to research Easter Island, it'll be fantasy or sci-fi, and it'll take a good stroke of insight to create a world that makes it effective.
Go ahead and google for it. The point is this: the mere act of living is a positive experience, right? That means that we should bring in a new living thing until the pain of experience is equal to the benefit of living. That is, if being alive brings this much pleasure, then we should keep breeding until each newborn brings this much horror. If that offends you, then you're on the right track. If it offends you and you feel it, then you've got it. It's life and it's horror. And...it needs to be shoved into the face of the world...er...it needs to be taken from obscure economic theory and made plain to the rest of humanity.
I don't know about co-authoring, but I could use the discipline. Unlike virtually every techophobic book written, this is relevant, because it's simple and true: if being alive is good, then we should breed until life equalizes with the horror of death. That is, the pleasure of being born must match the horror of dying from privation.
Let me know. It can be...what's the term...dark fantasy? You can let all your inner demons loose, 'cos the very notion is too nasty for the public. Economics ain't dismal; it's divine because all are equal, and it's demonic because it doesn't judge.
I'm welcoming a mentor or writing partner for this excursion into the depths. And trust me: I've read Franz Fanon and worse. Anybody who wants to reject this project because they think they'll scare me, they cannot do that. Period.
If the Repugnang Conclusion can be turned into a novel, then I want to be part of it. If my only collaborators are the nasty type, then it'll be nasty; if I can get a collaborator who isn't nasty, then that's outstanding.
Regardless, holler and let me know. I think it's got to be epic to really tell the tale, FWIW & YMMV. ^_^
