"Pluribus" is so Zen! Heterodox Zen Buddhist teacher Brad discusses some science fiction productions, some of which may have underlying Buddhist themes. I´ve never seen "Pluribus" or "White Lotus", but "The Monitors" (which don´t seem Buddhist, though) is available on YouTube, so I suppose I could watch it later this Xmas holiday.
The question of questions is this: What would happen if all humans would reach enlightenment (perhaps simultaneously)? I suppose there is always a suspicion that it would lead to authoritarian dystopia. In "Pluribus", an alien virus turns humanity into an absolutely benevolent hive mind, except for 13 people. OK, let me guess. Some bad stuff is going to happen in the second season...?
Marry Christmas Steve, by the way.
