Number 12 Looks Just Like You

A reply to this comment I made at https://www.ericpetersautos.com/2018...look-the-same/

The article was detailing the government induced homogeneity of modern cars.

This is the future for people.

Already happening in that every kid has the same dental college trained dentists applying the same braces, so every kid’s teeth look exactly like every other kid. Can you imagine a Freddy Mercury growing up today? Or accents that are disappearing, everybody talking the same and sounding the same. As more genetic science gets applied to human reproduction, this trend will increase.

The future is a moiling, faceless, indistinguishable polyglot blob of humanity, all consuming their way to government approved happiness on a never ending hamster wheel of debt and payments and rents, never truly owning anything, never truly in control of anything in their lives or around them; pointless, fruitless, hopeless and under 24/7 surveillance.

Here again The Twilight Zone showed brilliance. The episode you are looking for is “Number 12 Looks Just Like You”. It’s hits on all cylinders right down to the obsession with professional sports.

In the future, I'm sure whatever malady it is that ails you to cause these thoughts, will be fixed no problem.

Never remove your third nipple. I'm just sayin'.

You're right about the dentists. Kids with straight teeth getting braces is the dumbest thing I've ever seen in my life. The dentist tried to sell me braces. My kids have straight teeth. Are perfect? No but they're not obviously crooked. I told him I didn't think they needed them and was treated like I was abusing them for not getting them. Back in my day braces were only for the truly jacked grills.


“What bothers me today is the lack of, well, I guess you'd call it authentic experience. So much is a sham. So much is artificial, synthetic, watered-down, and standardized. You know, less than half a century ago there were sixty-three varieties of lettuce in California alone. Today, there are four. And they are not the four best lettuces, either; not the most tasty or nutritious. They are the hybrid lettuces with built-in shelf life, the ones that have a safe, clean, consistent look in the supermarket. It's that way with so many things. We're even standardizing people, their goals, their ideas. The sham is everywhere.”
