You live in a magical world of regressive income tax and reverse affirmative action, describe what society and your daily life is like

Assuming you mean my idea of a perfect world and not just a world with the "regressive income tax and reverse affirmative action":

Society is intelligent, rational and compassionate, with people acting out of a desire to contribute to the world. Daily life is interesting, fun and productive.

In order for me to be happy in that world I'd have to have a hole drilled through my forehead. So, basically I'd describe my life in that perfect world as slobbery and mucousy.

Everyone has a home, food is grown and processed by machine. I get to spend my time writing discursive essays on the nature of life, the universe and everything, and reading and discussing the contribution of others with them. I'm not making any money and I don't give a shit because I don't need any.

That last bit, right there... perfection. All I'd need then is someone to hold on to.

People are literate and are mostly self-sufficient. People keep to themselves and show absolute tolerance toward each others beliefs. There are no laws but it doesn't matter because everyone respects each others basic human rights. Sure would be great if at least one of those were possible.

My idea of a perfect world is a perfectly round, perfectly flat disk. With a giant hole in the middle so it looks like a washer from space. A perfect violation of physical laws.

In this world the rich would get richer and the poor would get poorer, so I guess I would spend my days finding the theoretical numerical value that would define rich and poor, and then I guess it would be a good idea to get on the top side of that line.

Isn't that actually a pretty accurate description of the dark ages? Where the serfs gave nearly everything to their landlords, the freemen (middle class) payed a few taxes and tolls, and the nobility and royalty did nothing useful, and owed money to noone. And where even being from the wrong neighboring country would make it hard to find any decent work.

The Perfect World=Me Getting Bored.

Ever see the movie Serenity? With perfection, comes a loss of impulse. Without chaos, there is no order. That gas stuff that they used, well, a perfect world might make me one tenth of a percent, and degenerate into a Reaver. As long as their is imperfection, there is choice, and people making things better and worse, both intentionally and unintentionally. I'll skip on that world, thank you.

I like that. Did not understand the bit about 1/10th, but your reasoning on perfection Vs. choice I really like.

It has to do with the movie serenity, in which a gas called Pax was used in the atmosphere of a world to try to make people peaceful, causing 90% or so of the people to just lie down and die, while the rest went stark raving mad. These ones became the reavers, which were kind of the zombie horrrors of the serenity universe.

GAP described this magical world perfectly


This thread is making fun of the reverse reverse racism thread and the regressive income tax thread

P.S.

My perfect life in my perfect World? Well here's what happens on a monday of all days.

I wake up next to my wife, who also happens to be a supermodel and the inventor of chewing gum that never looses its flavor. She's also shorter than me, which is nice when you're only 5'3".

Anyway, I climb out of bed and don't shave because I have a sweet beard, and everyone respects me for it. I hop in my shower which turns the water on and cleans me all by itself so I don't have to waste time tediously selecting the temperature and which flavor of tear free shampoo I have to use. Then I step into a little blow dry area, and I get blow dryed so I don't have to waste any more time using a towel to dry off. I get dressed so I look like Frank Sinatra from his Greatest Hits collection, complete with the sweet matching hat and black tie.

I ride my Segway downstairs, and pour myself a groin-grabbingly good breakfast of Cinnamon Toast Crunch with 2% chocolate milk.

I kiss my supermodel wife goodbye while I get in my 1977 Trans Am and cruise to work at 160mph. On the way I listen to Chuck Berry and other Timeless musical artists that don't come to mind. I get to work where I scratch lottery tickets and win big every single day.

For my lunch break, I go the fanciest restaurant and eat only the finest dishes, and down three or four Red Bulls because Red Bull is amazing.

After a HARD day of work, I drive back home in my Trans Am and play scrabble with my Supermodel wife who invented chewing gum that never looses it's flavor, eat a dinner of Meatloaf and Mashed potatos with cream soda, and go to sleep in my water bed, next to my Supermodel wife.

Yeah, life is good.
