Future Science Reviews - Elysium

Hello random readerhood

As a lifetime fan of all things science fiction, and a little bit of a scientist as well as an artist, I have decided to start sharing my opinions on movies, games and written stories "of the future!" with the rest of our shared planet, meaning you. It is therefore only fitting that the first review would be a one of a movie that makes a very clear point about all of us sharing the planet. Very bluntly, that is, but let's not get ahead of myself. I shall call this series Future Science Reviews, because this reviewer is not going to pretend that movies are just movies and science fiction is just some science fantasy that may ignore the real world in all of its, as of yet conveniently unknown, splendor.

If you dare to believe anything at all beyond the strict boundaries of so called good science, it may have happened to you that a self-proclaimed sceptic/atheist/scientist disregarded and invalidated your whole life's experience as well as your person by spouting a single catchphrase. Let's look at some of those popular self-evident scientific truths about our reality a little closer.

Real Magic

If somebody asked me, who or what I am or wish to be, I wouldn't say I am an artist, or a scientist, or philosopher, not even author, believer, speaker, writer, thinker, teacher, visionary, expert, pundit, none of those labels. Without a moment's hesitation, I would say that I am, for serious, only this:

Love Is a Game Best Not Played

Why do we love and hate, oh ye unforgiving fate?

Also, why is communication about love always so pathetic? Though maybe the question should be - what's wrong with pathos? It seems that the most attractive state of being one can harness these days is "the cool". The intense and pro-active alternative to that self-assured chill would probably be "awesome" instead.
