The Contact Hypothesis

While reading a book about kindness and humanity, I came across something called the contact hypothesis, the idea that prejudice gets lowered via contact with the people you're biased against. (There are provisos and such--you have to ACTUALLY get to know them, if you're just in their vicinity but they remain unknown, that can make prejudice go UP, stuff like that.)

And honestly, that's something I've noticed with multi stuff. I've had a lot of success at people changing their opinions about multis, just by existing at them.

Free Multi Stuff: Paranoia Agent

Hey persons, people, and my fellow perple, we are giving away our DVDs of Satoshi Kon’s mindbending anime, Paranoia Agent. Three of the episodes are legit, the other bootleg fan translations that want to explain allll the Japanese references. (Secretly: I liked those better.)

Satoshi Kon is responsible for Rogan’s favorite multi movie, Paprika, and there are lots of similar themes and realitymashing. It is however darker! It’s very good and free to a good home, if you’re willing to pay the shipping. Stake a claim and it’s yours!
