just remembered the time in my high school science fiction class where we were put in groups and had to figure out what a utopian society would look like for us and that across the room I could hear one of the students in the other group bragging that in his utopia the elderly and disabled and anyone who couldn't contribute to his idea of a utopia would be left in a deserted area to fend for themselves. the project was part of a lesson on utopia vs dystopia and was fucking leading up to us reading. The Giver. The Fucking Giver. the irony cannot be clearer and also I hope he's miserable.
