I can already smell the horrible mixture of Axe Body Spray, Teslas and Failure. I’m not exactly sure the world needs more “Alphas” such as these clones. Obviously, the people behind this gathering in the Mormon Vatican have never read\u00a0Brave New World<\/em>. So-called Alphas (leaders I’m guessing) need the assistance of Betas, Deltas, Gammas and Epsilons to make things happen. Being someone who pretty much knows he’s a Beta\/Beta Plus in Huxley’s novel, understands how our role models (Mr. Data, Mr. Spock) are leaders in their own right and their positions play to their strengths: providing information, providing guidance and can also take command when the time demands it.<\/span><\/p>\n

This odd convention is also conspicuously lacking in Alphas who are female and\/or non-white. In the LGBTQ department? I’m going to go out on a limb and say those fellow Americans are also intentionally left out given the city hosting this; the Mormons’ council of old white men remain obstinate on gay\/trans rights.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lastly, there’s also a good chance I’ve been suckered. These gentleman’s names aren’t quite obvious jokes a la Bart Simpson’s prank calls or the low-brow jokes we told in college (Heywood Jablowme, Dick Gozinya). They’re more in line with the lazier names I’ve seen in numerous\u00a0Star Wars<\/em> or D&D novels. Even if this is a weird joke, I do like it and wouldn’t be surprised if Girth Vader and his handlers discovered it, thought it was real and then complained about why Girth wasn’t invited to be the key speaker.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
