Our Fears: Our Subconsiously Overt Desires?
Um...take aliens for example. We're obviously obsessed with them--anyone
who's spent more than 15 minutes on personal web pages or ever even
seen a movie can tell that right from go. We make all these movies
about aliens taking over Earth. I'm not saying that we want to be
dominated by aliens in some kind of kinky bondage deal, (well, strike
that..oh, nevermind) what I'm saying is, what if subconsciously, or
perhaps overtly, we want to take over planets ourselves and kill the
inhabitants and do experiments on the livestock (assuming they HAVE
livestock)? What if we harbour secret unspoken wishes to make crop
circles? What if, deep down inside, we want to make mathematically
precise structures and leave them to baffle future scientists? But, and
here's the clincher -- WE'RE JUST TOO DAMN STUPID? Oh wait, I just thought
of another example. You're walking down the street and all of a sudden
a huge safe falls on your head. Ouch, that hurt. But in a way it felt
good too, right? That's my point!
