I want the Black Mirror punishment where they’re put into a theme park with no memory and are forced to figure out what they did over and over again for my amusement. Some of you may not have seen Black Mirror. Trust me, you should.

Multiple times. I tell my friends, skip the first episode and give them a link to that one site with the chronological order of weirdness. It’s amazing in that the themes portrayed in Black Mirror can actually happen to us, or have already but we’re just oblivious to it.

I made the mistake of recommending the show to someone and not warning them to skip the first episode. I feel like it’s not that bad but it’s a rough opener for people that are a little off put by disturbing content. This guy is a little straight edge and he was just like nope I’m done with that show. I was like no they’re not all like that. I don’t know if he ever tried again. I actually check in with him on that. It’s been a few years and he might be open to trying another episode.

If you have erased their memories, isn't that just like torturing an innocent person for no reason over and over again?

It’s definitely torture, but not of an innocent person. If I forget that I’ve done horrible things, I’m still guilty of them

Quite a philosophical question. Some could argue that those memories are what made you. If your memory is completely wiped, then maybe you are a whole new person.

But that assumes the people are good.

I have a feeling, putting a guy who raped and murdered a 3 year old child, the ability to do the same thing over and over again would just let him live his daily fantasies.
