this place has gotten a little…snobby
with an air of white supremacy
kinda sad
In the future, sexual intercourse and reproduction are prohibited, whereas use of mind-altering drugs is mandatory to enforce compliance among the citizens and to ensure their ability to conduct dangerous and demanding tasks. Emotions and the concept of family are taboo. Workers are clad in identical white uniforms and have shaven heads to emphasize uniformity, likewise with police androids who wear black and monks who are robed. Instead of names, people have designations with three arbitrary letters (referred to as the "prefix") and four digits, shown on an identity badge worn at all times.
At their jobs in central video control centers, SEN 5241 and LUH 3417 keep surveillance on the city. LUH has a male roommate, THX 1138, who works in a factory producing android police officers. At the beginning of the story, THX finishes his shift while the loudspeakers urge the workers to "increase safety"—and congratulate them for only losing 195 workers in the last period—to the competing factory's 242. On the way home, he stops at a confession booth in a row of many, and relates his concerns and mumbles prayers about "party" and "masses", under the Jesus Christ-esque portrait of "OMM 0000". A soothing voice greets THX, and OMM ends the confession with a parting salutation: "You are a true believer, blessings of the State, blessings of the masses. Work hard, increase production, prevent accidents and be happy."
it is very hard to hide
i wonder if my students pick up on my ideology
can't say cuz i've never asked them
i would like to know
ok, i thought you might answer that way
i get it
mine is a social science
so it opens me to being eaten alive here
nevertheless, they (anons) don't know how important it is to have anons in the field
i'll last as long as i can
but it's getting more difficult
no doubt
my profession has left me behind
they are deluded and essentially okay with child abuse
i try to expose my students to common sense
so in that way, they have likely inferred that i'm more right than left
thx anon
