GM #nostr, thinking through how our existence could probably be defined by the word “overextension”.

By overextension I mean we stretch things past their natural capacity.

We’ve overextend:

Money
Government
Food
Environment
Schools
Communities
Purpose
Humanity
Fitness
Entertainment
Family
Business

It’s ironic that my favourite show, Star Trek: TNG, shows a future of almost perfect bureaucratic bliss. If such a thing was possible it would be great.

"I feel I need a holiday, a very long holiday, as I have told you before…Why, I feel all thin, sort of stretched, if you know what I mean: Like butter that has been scraped over too much bread. That can’t be right. I need a change, or something.” - Fellowship of the Ring
