| 259 | Ok. I sent this idea to the creators of Big Brother incidentally... Imagine; Big Brother, The Maze. You select a bunch of participants, tell em nothing, and lock them away in a really weird, unsettling maze. My first idea was to make the maze abstract, weird, a bit SciFi, but you can also create some kind of gothic underground Dungeon. Basicly, the idea involves a set with fake walls, somewhat resistant to tampering. The panels and doors open in the set, and the SFX crew erect new sets behind those. A like exploring a First-Person shooter game, or like the movie "Cube". The set would be 3D, with catwalks, places to climb, small corridors and rooms. Really alienate the contestants really by putting them in a place they totally don't expect. And then introduce riddles, play pranks on them, create sets. You can run it as a straight riddle game, but you can also play pretend that the contestants are in a spaceship underway to an alien planet... and they get to explore some of that planet... | If you could create your own new television show, what would it be like? |
| 260 | Right by what definition? In the bigger picture it's obvious atomics would have been used sooner or later, and the moment it actually was used was relatively safe, politically and socially, for our way of life. From our perspective (spoiled decadent westerners) it would have been worse if Hitler or Stalin would have had access to nuclear technolgy before the americans. From another perspective, namely we as biological species running amok with our talent for tool-using, it's also difficult to apply terms like Good and Bad in this topic. Finally, if we look at format ethics... we have all heard reasoning that the Hiroshima event saved lives. It think that's probable. The Japanese in the 40s were maniacal (by modern standards) and would have sacrificed half their population, defending their "honor", if attacked with conventional warfare methods of the time. The nuclear solution cut this dilemma short by facing the Japanese with unreasonable odds. One can debate if truman should have used the second one, or if he should have used it over a densely populated area. However, there were reasons for that; the US army had only two bombs and manufacturing additional ones would have cost months. Given these parameters, what else can the "simpletons of the 40s" have decided differently? Being the cynic I am I think the US took a horrible risk by allowing the russians to develop nuclear capability of their own. I won't hold it against them, but the bizarre risks taken in the cold war were to my opinion bigger and more immoral than the use of a nuclear weapon over Japan. Thank Cthulhu this civilization survived the Cold War, and let it be a lesson for the centurties to come: you don't go around prepare for nuclear confrontation. To much risk it will actually happen. MAD sucks. | Was bombing Hiroshima the right thing to do? |
