In our new bestseller, a mad scientist in China realizes that
the only way to save humankind from itself is to start a
pandemic that breaks the back of the oil industry and forces
the world to reexamine its priorities in the face of the coming
climate change.

seems like it should be in the blatantly idiotic
predictions... oh wait it’s real |

Are the movie rights available ? |
|

Cheap to make, 'cos you can use lots and lots of stock news footage. |

[xandram], that was funny till it sank in and then made me
shiver in my shoes. |
|

Change it from China and you've got a movie
contract
coming to you. |

Brilliant idea, I'd read it. (If I read, which I don't.
Audiobooks only.) The written word is a notch or
two
above scratching out pictograms on a cave wall.
The sooner we get rid of these anachronistic
scribbles the better. It's time to start making some
progress. Then it'll be time to replace spoken
words.
Primitive grunting noises had their place, but
what's the data transfer rate of a spoken sentence?
Someday we'll look back, register humor and send
out data packets accordingly. |

And while we're at it can we stop patting ourselves on the
back for coming up with this ancient binary code
nonsense? It's an analog universe and we're still thinking
we're clever for painting inefficient models of pieces of it
using ones and zeros. |

If you're going to rule the universe you have to know how
to built it first. You don't do that with Legos and Tinker
Toys. |
|
| |
No, but that's the starting point. Lego, alphabet blocks, Bowie knife, Tower of Hanoi, Newton's cradle. Next, Meccano, then real but simple devices - lawnmower engines. |

Pretty soon you're shunting asteroids into different orbits and folding ordinary 7-space into short-lived but entertaining Warp bubbles as a party trick. |
|
| |
Start with the simple stuff, work your way up. Unless you can find a Black Monolith to sit round and gibber at. Quicker, but technically it's cheating. |

[+] China is one of the old ones. |
|
| |
China has been a Bogeyman for the U.S. for centuries. It's a shoo-in. |
