Not possible with current technology, but...
A thin slice of extremely-stable plastic explosive is implanted
into every citizen's cranial cavity at birth, along with a reliable
(impossible to trigger by accident or remotely) activation
mechanism. Result: a society populated by level-headed,
mentally-stable
individuals exclusively...

Your concept is certainly interesting, but how will you deal with the subcuteous plasma matrix? |
|
| |
You can call it "care in the community". |
|
| |
I can see this benefiting mostly dry-cleaners and people with a violent, irrational hatred of the mentally ill. What's in it for the rest? |
|

Glory devices are for hyperactive Japanese raccoons. |

I read about this in a sci-fi book once, except it was collars for criminals. Really a very interesting plot, although the ending was stupid. |
|

Your ideas seem to follow a certain theme: |
|
| |
American Kamikaze Corps / Anti-gamete Virus Artificial Masochism / Auditory Sensory Deprivation Device /Elective Neurosurgery /Eye Burner / Implanted Glory Device / 'Machete' Browser / Moorings / Pain Machine / Private World / Serial Guillotine / Silent Machine / Suicide Booths
/ Uncivilized Shutdown / Universal Refuge /World-Domination Machine |
|
| |
What's with the bleak outlook? |
|
| |
We all have our interests... |
|
| |
True, and diversity is what makes things interesting...but that's not my point. |
|
| |
I just thought ideas were posted so as to make things better. Your solutions strike me as the equivalent of throwing up one's hands and saying "F*ck it, let's just call it quits." |

Sounds like perfect fodder for Pinky and the Brain episodes. |
|

I'd rather think of the device as a 'Retroactive Abortion Device' . If you go through life pissing people off, then people can vote against you. When you reach a certain score, it's lights out. Kind of a democratic Darwinism. |

r u a happy preson iuvare? |

Given the randomness of violence these days, it pays to be level headed. Before tailgating that person for cutting you off, consider the possibility that they keep a loaded pistol in their car. Before telling someone at the office what a mindless jerk he is, imagine he has an entire rec-room filled with unlicensed automatic weaponry. |
