another idea for me

we've been writing and thinking a lot about what would happen if robots took over the world. but what if we created something else that could take over the world?

working on wording - see this, as well as post-mortem auctions of MJ's thriller outfit, tom landry's hat, etc. but the notion is that it is the future, and modern society believes that once we die our ghosts linger amongst our most cherished possessions, and that to honor the memory of those ghosts, those in close proximity to those items are obligated to live according to the ideas and morals of the dead. so if you walk into a club and a guy there is wearing the thriller jacket, you are expected to join in when inevitably he starts the zombie dance, even if you don't know the steps.

it sounds like a commentary on materialism, materialism interwoven (by time and human weirdness) with spiritualism. i guess.

i don't know what'll grow out of these seeds. i'll be as interested to watch them grow as you.
