I'm going to be honest: considering the smorgasbord of possible dystopias, this one sounds pretty rad.
Can we do cyberpunk corpocratic gladiatorial parliament? Anyone?
- rafesureshot 4y agoWell how about cyberpunk philosophical gladiatorial debates? I challenge Daniel Dennet (sp?) to a philosophical debate about free will. Wait no. I challenge him to an MMA fight. If he declines, he gets to pick his favorite UFC fighter to fight by proxy (like Game of Thrones, but we'll both survive). But Dennet can't just pay the fighter off. The fighter has to actually think Dennet's a genius. And, I get to have the opportunity to talk the fighter out of the fight before the match. I've actually already issued this challenge via YouTube (3681 seconds into the video; the link jumps to the appropriate spot in the video). https://youtu.be/S7DOb539UeA?t=3681 https://youtu.be/S7DOb539UeA?t=3681
