Doesn't the idea of someone having the ability to see into your
memories sound kinda creepy.. I mean what kind of stuff can they see?
I mean it seems to me that if they could see your whole life they
could see some very personal and private moments. I know dreamfasting
sounds cool when you first see it in the film but would you really be
comfortable living in a society where everyone had the ability to see
your all of your lifes memories.
Like if you were in Jen's shoes (I know he doesn't wear shoes) and
you just met some chick for the first time would you really want her
seeing the time you had really bad food poisoning and were on the
crapper for four and half hours?
Could you keep that kind of stuff from being shown or would you just
have to cross your fingers and hope that it doesn't show up in the
montage?.. I don't care how much it would help ones relationships and
how much it would further your society I think somethings are better
kept private. I mean atleast until you start to get to know the
person then they can find out about how you enjoy the feeling of
billiard balls in your rectum.
Also too it could explain the low crime rate in Gelfling society I
mean you think you can't get away with anything in our society with
all this forensic science and DNA evidence. I mean you kill someone
you'd I guess have to resort to giving up bathing and start covering
yourself in feces just so no one would want to go near you let alone
touch your hand.
