if the legislation is to get out in front of more techno-charlatanism like people using FMRI in place of polygraphs, with the same kind of accuracy, but an all new veneer of respectability, then it's fine.

yesterday i learned that the cyberpunk genre and its progenitors are racist because the aesthetic leans heavily on orientalism due to 80s western fears of eastern dominance i learned this because someone in the cyberpunk 2077 thread in games asked a CDPR dev who posts there why they made the game

the dev has not responded, presumably because they have sense enough not to make a public statement on that subject on behalf of their entire company on the something awful dot com forums

if you did it with current technology it would be annoying but I feel like if we actually invented some kind of light-emitting cloth it wouldn't be. maybe keeping it visible and looking good would be annoying but it wouldn't necessarily be uncomfortable

person of interest is kind of unique in that it wants to tell a high-concept sci fi story but is forced to do so through the medium of generic network procedural. it does eventually get there but very slowly and never fully escapes that constraint

I guess if that's the only way to get your show picked up, do it and hope the ratings give you leverage

also i cant believe i stuck with person of interest so long i did get to the final arc but i just stopped caring, the format is absolute trash and even the best story would be worthless told that way. might as well read the wikipedia summary, which tbf i also didnt
