Thinking about Elon Musk being a piece of shit, as one does, and seeing a thing about carcinization. Realizing that this is the obvious end goal of Elon Musk because of his obsession with human evolution and perfection and blah blah fashy henry ford shit. Ultimately realizing that the idealized form of Elon Musk, then, exists, at least in fiction.
It's Futurama's own Professor Zoidberg
There are three primary factors for this
- the processes of evolution favor turning organisms increasingly crablike for a combination of defense (hard shell) and attack (pincers), which is an accurate description of Zoidberg's body; again, if eugenics could be said to have a goal it is to eventually produce crab, as it is the most common way in which divergent evolutions converge
- Zoidberg fashions himself a great knower of science despite being damn well near incompetent at it. keep in mind we're talking about a guy who's trying to put computer components into apes and just winding up with a bunch of dead apes.
- STAR TREK!! REMEMBER STAR TREK?!?! HEY, STAR TREK!! THIS IS A REFERENCE TO STAR TREK!!!!! WHY DO YOU NOT APPRECIATE STAR TREK REFERENCE
So from now on when you see Elon Musk, think to yourself, "this guy wants to be zoidberg and can't even manage that, by virtue of being far too soft and fleshy"
