RE: I Need To Get This Off My Chest
THIS just made me think of a dystopian future (not too hard to imagine that now a days, right?) where in our social image/profile is such our currency that if you 'broke the social law' you would have a digital branding, like the Scarlet letter but everyone time you took an image or were captured by others with their digital glasses device, your 'letter' would appear on your chest. "Bigot" "Racist" "Late on Payments" and you'd have to wear it about like a badge of honour or disgrace, depending on your own personal take on life in general. I think this could make a good Black Mirror episode too, if I do say so myself :)
The mark of the beast? What's interesting is we already have the ability to apply those labels to people, we do it with our own imaginations. It gets scary when others try to decide for us. It's not unusual though, to be walking down the street, notice someone, and pick up on strange vibes. We feel the signs. We're not always right, not always wrong, usually don't get much of a chance to find out the truth because they're gone, never to be seen again.
