What if?

What if no parents?

World-wide caste system?

Government controlled birth rate

No family values (or at least, different ones)

Drugs wo consequences  (I did this one!!  No le tocas!)

No set relationships (free love)

Moral standardization

Conditioning BEFORE birth (modification of DNA)

Conditioning AFTER birth

No privacy/never alone (except sleep)

All babies out-vitro

One world-wide religion

Homogenous culture

One government – no wars

What if we valued community more than self?

There was complete social order?

Government had more control?

We were cloned

We lived in defined caste system?

Science has a limit – benefits of additional knowledge does not “help”

All desires fulfilled

More heavily conditioned --- or at least, differently than we are now. . .

No individual identity

A perfect drug

All belonged to each other

Monogamy was discouraged – “smut”

Repro was regulated

Always content

What if we valued community more than individualism?

What if we want security more than chaos?
