just had a movie script idea

in the future, humanity found a way to deal with the problem of death.

humans now live up to 200 years, but their bodies deteriorate very fast.

so instead of keeping them on classic life support, people's heads are succesfully severed and their their brain is plugged into a machine , so that they can live in a digital AI heaven.

This also means that in turn people can talk with their parents that had been in the system already.

So there you go, an artifficial heaven.

This somehow remind me of both Futurama and Psycho Pass

Futurama for the severed heads that are keep on their containers, this on the Head Museum

Psycho Pass because there's a place where there are stored a lot of brains that aren't quite "dead" as they're connected to a kind of system. They just doesn't have a body anymore and are inside a container (like the heads of Futurama)

Black Mirror have already shot it :)
no spoilers

Uh... Who's becoming "His Holy Shadow" next?

Cookies?

@RiderExMachina I don't recal cookies.. Although I watched that part over a year ago 😁

edit: just googled it. Yep, cookies 😁

edit2: umm.. If you're referring to white christmas, then no, not that part :)

@RiderExMachina San Junipero

@netikras
I kind of remember that episode. I like what I remember of it. The entire season is hit or miss for me: I love some episodes and despise others, but such are anthology shows.

@M1sf3t I love that movie 😄

I wrote this literally moments before falling asleep, I almost drop my phone twice.

I initially thought of saying that my idea was very likely implemented in some film, and not awfully lot original.

I appreciate people mentioning movies where it was implemented, but no one being like "duuuh, dude, ofc it was done".

There is also a similar instance (except for the meeting parents part) in minority report where criminals are put in like a nice ai world for good.

@Nanos lol, true, that sounds like an awful afterlife to those people.
There's other people though that spend their whole lives griefing over parents.

Then one guy wants to write something to non-existent notebook in that heave-

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

@Nanos I did not grow up in such environment, but wished I did

@Nanos in fact, the few death related events that I had to witness were pretty traumatic

The last one was witnessing my grandma's last moments.
She was catatonic, with her eyes open, and gasping for air with her chest going in and out.
She seemed to be in pain also.

A pretty horrifying image. I would have expected her to be on anesthesia by the that time. It was a public hospital, so I guess they didn't have a lot of money for the anesthesia, or didn't have the cleanest procedure in place.

Regardless, when I think of death, I think of that image of my grandma looking like shit, and I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

Imagine, you're already in it, and this 'life' is the state mandated religious training before you're let out of the simulation in order to go on to be a good little muppet for society.

And if you fail, they just send your mind to dev/null.

Tim:"Boss - more of the grey meat is idling again"

John:"What the hell Tim, what'd you fuck up this time?"

Tim:"Nothing, someone in the simulation just came up with a new service called 'netflix and chil.'

John:"Motherfucker, this is the fifth time. REBOOT THE GOD DAMN SIMULATION AGAIN. All these morons are gonna come out spewing memes like that one infovirus from before, you know the one.."

Tim:"Rick and morty?"

John:"Yeah that one."

Tim:"Holy cow, I didn't know hanging out with you was making me smarter."

John:"Shut the fuck up Tim."
