Just a recap.
In the year 2274, the remnants of human civilization live in a sealed domed city, a utopia run by a computer that takes care of all aspects of their life, including reproduction. The citizens live a hedonistic lifestyle but understand that in order to maintain the city, every resident when they reach the age of 30 must undergo the ritual of "Carrousel" . There, they are vaporized and ostensibly "Renewed." To track this, they are implanted at birth with a "life-clock" crystal in the palm of their hand that changes colours as they approach their "Last Day."
Most residents accept this promise of rebirth, but some realize it is a brutal population control, and go into hiding to avoid Carrousel. These fugitives are known as Runners, and there are Sandmen who are assigned to pursue and terminate them.
Population control is on it`s way!

well i dont think 30 is very realistic is it. but old people are getting more and more disposable.
were keeping people alive too long with no quality of life. that will have to change at some point. also stopping poor people breeding like rabbits is inevitable one day.

There is a promise of `rebirth` after the vapourising process at the age of 30.
Science will probably lead us down the quantum physics road through biocentrism. Where it will educate us with the thought process of `no such thing as death, there is no time and space,we are merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively.
People in the future will believe this as readily as we now accept Darwinianism.

i read that, but isnt that just what religion has done? give people the promise that death is just a new beginning. but more and more people are coming to the decision its utter hogwash. cant see people falling for it again.
Religion has never had science backed confirmation though Bob. Once it does back it up, especially with a process of dematerialisation followed by a rebirth promise of re-materialiastion of some kind then it will get interesting.
We still have many years before this happens. I mean, the next stage is the virtual reality sex civilization. Plug yourself into your fantasy and enjoy. This will keep the population down below exponential growth graph lines. Even the Muslims will give into temptation.

who exactly is going to believe that????
but by living longer, we are placing a massive burden on the young

AG you are starting to worry me!
First you start conceding that David 'the baseball bat' Little, was right after all.
Then you attack Menelaus who put Pinochet loving Larry where the verminous sh!t bag belongs...in his own crap heap of disgust and ridicule.
Now you sound like conspiracywackjob with his AGENDA21KILLING MACHINE that sent floods to Somerset and wolves and bears to Scotland in an attempt at population control.
Get a grip!
You seriously think Muslims, as the example you gave "will give in to temptation"?
Temptation to what?
"You live until 30, then get reborn on the 'Carrousel'!"
Try selling that to no conviction or faith atheists, let alone religions that have survived thousands of years.
Just crazy...laughable!

I thought i was Larry!
EVEN you don`t believe Melly and his alias flapdoodle! You wait until he hears about this NLad, he will be vapourising you!

The brainwashed, the state controlled like NLad.

No! Only seemingly the likes of you and conspiracywackjob.
Problem is people tend to be inquisitive.
Especially as they seem to be trusting in non spiritual forces but human authorities to be able to perform such feats.
So if you can vapourise a human being and reconstitute him (rebirth) in the here and now.
Lets see you do it with an animal or a plant or a piece of living tissue.
O the authorities will just make claims they have.
And nobody's ever going to demand proof under lab conditions, with neutral scientific observers randomly chosen and in front of a live audience?
Nobody's involved in this mass conspiracy is ever going to whistle blow?
Although I must concede if you think the likes of Farage will take power anything is possible.

You are having the same doubts as a person in the 1820`s having been told about the possibility of human cloning MLad.
Much in science seems impossible 200 years before it becomes actual.
Perhaps science can cure you of your obsession with Farage. One day you will have no choice as you are born into a totalitarian world like the North Koreans. Remember this in Logan`s Run MLad.

Seems more feasible than some Kebab slicer becoming the `chosen one` for the Castor and Pollux awakening!

isn't that Bill Hicks?

Bill Hicks kind of stole it DStyle, but yes he did use this definition.
I think the Matrix idea is better Angel
we live our lives in a virtual world, where we all get we want
I believe the human destiny is to colonise the universe..it gives us a purpose
Purpose does not have to be a reality..it is a human concept...but it is a good one we should use it
we cannot live by bread alone
ps
the idea of unlimited hedonism may appeal to us all, but we would get bored with it after a while imo

Yep, it's like when the wife goes out for the evening, by the 3rd wonk I'm pretty much over it.
To be fair unlimited virtual reality could include anything you desire not just hedonism, although most of us would chose the orgasmic experience until the 3rd wonk. If you got bored of the attention of your perfect sex kittens you could program in to do an 8 hour shift down the production line of fish factory while wishing your life away if you liked.

I was thinking of something a little better, if it is our own virtual reality world
We could live in any time and space we liked, a world tailored to our needs
Be anything, a ruler, a great entertainer, world sportsman, or just a very ordinary life
We would have to have a little sour, to make the sweet sweeter....someone said that to Tom Cruise, in one of these films
probably be a bit disappointing when we come back to our real life, in a bed sit eating baked beans of course
ps
in this virtual reality world, we might back a few winners, although if they all won it would be boring
I certainly get don't bored like this in our real world

The scenario is far less probable than rich people investing in their own personal clones that are kept on an island and destroyed when their body parts are needed.
Try getting that past the EU commission.

of course it will happen
we now have most things for real
that first came to light in Thunderbirds
and Captain Scarlet.

But the bed-sit and the cold beans would just be seen as another part of your new reality. Som,ething we could all strive for.
