    I, for one, am completely down with the Aldus Huxley idea of creating a community system that allows everyone to get laid and get psychotherapy (id est, vent their troubles and get professional feedback). Huxley had to dystopia it up a bit with compliance drugs and criminalizing intimacy (and abuses of genetic engineering) since he was writing a cautionary tale, but I think if we did these things and then upgraded friends (or created a subset like BFFs) to include emotional intimacy, it would make for a pretty groovy society.

    Right now, we are really far away from this notion, and are about to confront some great filters unprepared, so coulda, shoulda, woulda.
