Need a brutal and compassionless future in the scifi genre?

My point is that Compassion is rammed down our throats by TV sci-fi just like Tolerance - -

That is the Totalitarian nature of this genre, they are always shoving PC down out throats .

Science is not about Compassion nor Tolerance,
it is the process of discovery, it is detective work .

You do not find that on TV, no X-FILEs does not count, it advocates pseudoscience - Fox offers the supernatural explanation, Scully offers the Scientific rational one, and she is invariably wrong - -

X-FILE's is poison . It is everything that is wrong with this genre; paranoid, fatalistic, antiAmerican, made in Canada !

Should call this series and all those like it: Oliver Stone Fiction .

I have noticed alot of TV sci-fi revolves around the JFK conspiracy angle . .

POISON !

I had the pleasure of beta testing EVE and then playing it for a while. You're definitely right about the "brutal and compassionless" part of the game. For those of you who aren't familiar with it, it is a massively-multiplayer-online game. However, it's more of a capitalism/social-darwinism simulator. The goals are profit, expanding your territory, and destroying your enemies, either financially or militarily.

The designers don't really interfere with the game play though, and there have been stories of scams and even corporate espionage that will amaze you. But it's part of the universe and part of life in EVE.
