Re:Convention Geeks on TV?
Talking of this, its time to mention a fun little game I play:
1.) Think of a concept (philosophical or ideological works best) from a Sci-Fi show eg: The Prime Directive from Star Trek.
2.) Next time you’re talking to Ha Ha friends and the conversation moves to something that your concept is linked eg: (for our example) international relations would work.
3.) Outline the concept from the show, but on no account mention were it comes from (this is the most important part).
4.) Observe the reaction of your friends, if they say that it’s a good idea mention that the concept comes from the Sci-Fi show you originally chose.
5.) Observe their new reaction to the concept after they’ve realised that they agreed with something they usually mock.
