Alienation

If you can't connect, don't bother. If you feel out of place, you are. If you feel alienated, enjoy it.

The alien is the coolest creature on the block. Try to understand why. Aliens can do anything, no social conventions need to be followed. Alienation is part of the infrastructure. Look around you, can you think of any reason to not feel alienated? The design of the system demands you to feel alienated.

So if you can't ever feel at home, feel like you belong, why even try? Embrace alienation. Do bizarre, be bizarre. The alien and the schizoid are similar. If you believe the hardware/software duality about humans (many of us don't), you could say one is a software, and one is a hardware solution. Feeling effervescent, I will go ahead and say that we should petition the United Nations to demand universal alienation. And in kindergarten, we should teach children how to treasure, acknowledge their alienation. There will be no concept of an outsider, no angst in teenage when children suddenly realize that the world is not made of candy. For the well-adjusted minority, maybe the medicos can make a vaccine? A virus? But maybe we should let them feel alienated from the alienated?

It will be refreshing to see writers come up with some new material. They can just trash their first three chapters safely, "We know all about that. Yes, the guy was a mis-fit, we all are." Clinginess will be safely avoided, people who would like to cling-on to their socially cohesive ways will safely be sent away. There will be no more place for them.

You think I am joking? We never joke. We take the long-view, weigh-in the commentary. And objectively suggest the most potential.
