  • funnily that’s one of 2 things i remember clearly from it: the idea of growing an alien pseudo-clone of yourself that you beam your consciousness into like a psionic RV is very cool and scifi, and then the flora and fauna of the planet is something i want to see an Alien Planet-esque documentary about.

    Everything else at best makes me remember the game Natural Selection which has a lot more soul.

    and massaging is almost certainly more effective anyways, a nice massage feels nice which helps you mentally deal with ailments if nothing else, and having a person spend some time just touching you (in a non-weird way) is also very psychologically helpful.

    Almost all the positive effects of stuff like chiropractors and cupping and acupuncture etc can be explained by “a person listened to your problems, talked to you about it, and tried to help”.

    it’s like how american rail freight companies absolutely HATE running freight trains, and instead find it much more efficient to just do stock trading or whatever the fuck.

    what the hell is the point of buying all these companies and running a service into the ground? why not just sell it all and literally become an investment company? aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

    also: a lot of modern pixar movies are themselves massmarket-appeal-slop, everything has to be as soft and childlike as possible because that’s what works best. Even if AI wasn’t trained on them they’d probably end up making similar things just because it’s trained to make things as appealing as possible.
