i was talking about in serenity... everything went to shit because the govt. in control tried to make the world a more peaceful harmonious place.... they completley killled one entire planet, and turned 10% of the rest into corpse fucking, meating eating zombies... only they're not like zombies... the only real attribute they share is the fact that all they care to do is kill... if you're dead, they won't even touch you (where as the typical zombie would see a meal) instead of calming that percentage it had the exact opposite effect... making them go into pure 100% rage 100% of the time... but with reasoning skills and everything of humans...

watch the movie and you'll understand what i was getting at (it's not a bad movie either) like i said i don't think any of this would have that drastic of an effect... but changing people like that would have some negative effect one way or another....

there's a quote that goes along with this.... i still remember it to this day just not word for word...

"there is no worse illness for a soul, then the idea of perfection"

you can't acheive perfection.... and to try, usually ends badly, very badly infact...

and you can't even begin to deny if science cracked a way to reroute brain signals and what not, that the govt. wouldn't put it to use 'for the good of the people' and change what they consider 'innapropriate behaviour'.... they wouldn't just use it on those who really need it (serial killers, rapists for example) but everyone....

maybe i'm being pessimisitic, but the idea of a 'perfect society' could never be reached.. and would probably have more negative effects then good... like in the movie... the drug they mixed with the air on the planet that died... well it made everyone just stop caring... stop caring about working, stop caring about eating, stopped caring about ANYTHING... everyone just sorta gave up on life.... it didn't have the effect the govt. was going for..

i really do believe this movie is relavent to this convsation tho.... cuz the two do have alot in common...
