This was brought up in a conversation here. I thought Michael Crichton would be perfect since the speech seems so real and was given 20 years ago.
What brought it up was the conversation on Hydrogen. Without any government push, we have been moving toward Hydrogen as a fuel source for a long time. We are starting to get it directly, but it's not working perfectly. I expect all of that to be figured out soon enough.
This speech is what broke me from the lefty at the theater and design scene, to hiding what I actually believed out of fear. As he said in a different speech, this is all a religion in the guise of information. I would be a sinner and shunned.
I'm intrigued by your mention of hiding your true beliefs in the theatre and design scene. I am an artist/designer who had to completely detach myself from other creatives since an overwhelming number of them are devout members of the cult. I would love to hear more of your story and how you may have continued those interests after breaking away from the scene. I've felt such a decline in creative drive out of an inability to network and get my work out there, there aren't many of us to relate to this plight.
The theater scene is really awkward. There are very few willing to tell them the truth. I had a hard enough time explaining I was straight. I was told specifically not to bend over for anything at one theater because the fly guys had a thing for me. I moved into the convention scene to get out of it, and to study anthropology. Arcades and stuff like that are way less pozzed. People from wizards of the coast, Microsoft, Google, various theater scenes, and others all get into arcades and need to prove they can play.
I'm taking it into a master's in design and architecture. I don't want to take it any further on what I am doing, but there are a lot more folks who can't stand that crap in Central Florida than others. The theater scene is still like it, but you can still have fun. The convention scene still has people showing stuff off. Disney is the Cult, but Universal just speaks about it nicely. Dezerland couldn't care less. I've watched all the people who have tried to control the narrative fail and lose standing and burn some bridges. Those who figure out how to work with everyone regardless win. It's nice, but I'm worried the wrong people will move I to lake Nona and try to take control.
