Adventure Sports Wanted

January 23rd, 2008

I am waiting for the day when someone invents a hologram suite, like the ones in the Star Trek shows. These are computerized virtual realities, in which you can ski down a mountainside at breakneck speed and come to no harm. That’s because the mountain isn’t really there. Nothing is real but it feels just like reality. In other words, it’s all the thrills without the spills. I could do any adventure sports I wanted then and maybe even invent a few new ones. Until that time, I’ll watch others do their hot dog tricks and bungee jump from skyscrapers. Does driving into the city and back count as adventure sports these days?

For me anyway, I see competition as the purest form of honesty, and so elementarily sound that it seems only appropriate to have it part of nearly everything in our society. Whether in the future the socialists win over the capitalists, or the meek do inherit the Earth is still to be seen, but ditching competition will be the death nail for humanity I fear, if such a situation does occur. Those who cannot compete tend to hate competition, and want rid of it.
