The above comic got me thinking awhile back. Wouldn't it be interesting if the entire world worked like that? A simple mod here,a tweak there, maybe some kind of pacemaker thing tied to our soldiers. A brief glimpse into their lives as their life's blood spills upon the ground. Would our opponents call us infidels then? Would they still slaughter our children and our children's children for the sake of some war waged for whatever reason?
Or maybe an evolutionary thing, or simply something to ponder about. Just for a moment lets sit down and think about what such snip-its might reveal, what preventative measures.
I'm no killer, but I'm sure there is a sense of detachment there, that there is some sort of dehumanization going on in the psychopathic mind. A few brief moments of the victims life flashed before them, permanently seared into their consciousness. Burning through whatever haze of mental disorder they've constructed or that their mind has been wrapped in to fully impact their psyche in all of its horror.
Perhaps that would stop more then one killing?
Or maybe not.
I'm sure that for some there would be some kind of sick pleasure in knowing that this was the life that was being led and now it is no more. Weird little fetishes would probably arise.
Hm. Interesting. What if it was simply some kind of social thing, get a glimpse into the person you are looking at. Might be a nice way to break the ice if I do say so myself. If it was socially acceptable at least to breach the surface with something like that.
Then again that might be my male side begging for an easier way to start conversations with anyone really. If something in common isn't readily apparent conversation usually becomes boring and dull. At the very least if you can glimpse that you both loved to eat peanut-butter sandwiches you could segue into some other kind of talk about whatever else.
Meh.
Sometimes I think I just want to read minds.
