Sci-Fi Short - Floreana
I once spent some time thinking what industry would be like if we produced things for disabled people the same way we invent products for normal people. So that they had a bizarre profusion of weird lifestyles, sports and jobs they could try to find something that fits their body. Then I realised that that's probably what has driven us to produce normal people in the first place. Then I started thinking about body modification as practiced by numerous ancient tribes, and I started thinking about an industry that adapted to people with modified bodies, where you could get whole societies of people bred to work certain types of machine, such as machines that flew with wings, or machines that looked like ants and had three people inside, each working one pair of legs, and so on and so forth. It started out as an exercise in thinking about equipment for Arctic Mountain Warfare special forces, ... It got going when I thought about how you could use micro-dosing of halucinogenic drugs to enhance visual perception of people flying a kind of parascender, so that they could see the air currents around them, ... It was fun thinking about it. Two minutes of this video was enough to trigger that memory of a thinking session I might otherwise have forgotten.
