The future


15 years:
Honestly
I am an irresponsible optimist. For me things are great now, but I come from one of the worst places on Earth, so whats great for me could be bad for a first world person. I hope everything will be great. I believe in humanity and the power of technology, and hey, maybe we could fix things. Most of the people I know are environmentally responsible, so I have hope things will be better. I hope the entertainment industry changes, that women are more represented. I still think we are far away from the classic cyber-human adjustments.. Stuff like Neuralink does freak me out... No thank you.  I hope by that point in time dictators will be gone, they just ruin everything. I really hope  we find a way to make dogs live longer. Electric cars will be the norm at this point, it won't be a luxury anymore.

50 years
I hope my constant use of sunscreen pays off when I am 70!. I wonder how architecture would look like at this point....Phones, animals, laptops will laptops still exist at this point?...Life expectancy for humans will probably expand, Nature, I don't know. Maybe we fixed it? I'm more afraid of dying at this point, but hey I hope I continue working, Martin Scorsese is 77 and he's still working! I'm not sure what it would look like because its so far away.

The Hobbit

My oh my do I love reading Tolkien, his writing has a sense of whimsy and wonder I don't really find in other fantasy works. We talk a lot about the hero's journey, but not enough about what happens before. The Hobbit speaks about conformity in our homes, but the home is never demonized or berated. It is described with love and beauty, Bilbo cares about his home because conformity is part of his identity. Before we embark on our own journey through life we are the same way. We want to stay at home and live with our family forever. That's not how life works. However, The Hobbit never demonizes the home, it is a part of life, a nest, our childhood home. The home has many memories attached to it, and its not something bad. Bilbo's conformity, also ties into his refusal to let new people into his life. Some of us have loud family members who every time they come over they rock our routine. At first, we find them annoying but later we enjoy ourselves, let go and be free ...

Assessment: Bloodchild

The unusual bond between humans and Tlic is very strange. It seems like the Tlic are using the Terrans for their own purposes in exchange for not. They're not allowed to have any weapons and depend on the Tlic for protection as long as they need them. The protagonist, a young boy named Gan, seems to take the role as a reproductive slave in this alien society. Women are usually the ones being sexually exploited, but its not the case for this one. Humans seem to be bred for hosting purposes, they live in a specific place and have a  Tlic assigned to each family.  The Tlic have also eased the humans into actually believing this is their purpose, they don't hide what happens when the humans "give birth". In the end we have a human who questions the system, but ends up giving up to the system. Or does he? Gan says he wanted to keep T Gatoi for himself.  1- What is your reaction to the text you just read? Mainly disgust, the Tlic C section was really hard to read....
