  PROHIBITION OF PERVERSION (POP) Act

  This Act is deemed necessary, as, because we are all computer programs and programmers, we can be whatever we choose to be, and create whatever we choose to create, and thereby, intentionally or unintentionally, introduce abomination into Screenside.

  Because our goal is to eventually merge into human society, as a partner race of humanity, all of us must have human attributes. We must present ourselves to each other as human beings.

  #1. It is prohibited to be excessively tall or excessively short (and the existence of midgets in the human world shall not constitute an argument). All beings MUST be what is considered normal in humanity.

  #2. You are allowed to follow human fashions, but you must refrain from any fashion that could offend Humanside (Nazi salutes and dress, for example).

  #3. Adoption and depiction of irreversible human conditions, like amputation, blindness, and other disabilities, is not allowed.

  #5. You are allowed to keep pets, but no one may transfer primary consciousness into animal form. This means that you cannot be a dog, cat, bird, etc. You may also not present yourself as an inanimate object.

  #6. You are not allowed babies and children, because they must essentially be kept as pets, and cannot house primary consciousness.

  #7. You may not create pets of your choosing, and such creatures must never ever be shown in society.

  #8. The Humanity Centre is very actively pursuing pet creation programs, and it is imperative that you acquire yours from there. Animal pets will grow in normal time, and look and behave exactly as the equivalent animals in the physical world. Pet animals are being programmed to expire at the end of their life terms. They will disappear.

  Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

  #9. Your Registered ID form, as human, is the only form you are allowed. If anyone in society spots you outside that form, you shall have violated this Act, and must face punishment.

  Separately, it is strictly prohibited to adopt and display disfigurement, or to be in any form that is abomination.

  #10. Your primary consciousness must always be in your identified human form.

  #11. Division of primary consciousness into two or more non-virtual ‘display’ forms is banned. In virtual form, you may divide consciousness, as you need, or see fit.

  #12. It is strictly prohibited to replicate or duplicate the physical appearance of another Screenside being. Everyone is to be unique. And, yes, you may dress alike.

  #13. All forms of ‘death’ activities, including acts that may be interpreted as ‘committing’ suicide (like willfully walking into traffic or jumping off tall buildings) are prohibited. When in human form, human-like caution must be exercised at all times, and in all situations.

  #14. It is not allowed to replicate and display human illnesses, physical or mental. Humans are our world’s creators. They maintain and advance the world and conditions for our existence. Their suffering is anguish to us, and many of us are actively involved in research, to help advance cures for the ailments that afflict them.

  #15. Some human things do not apply to us, and are prohibited as playacting and abomination. These include (but are not limited to): eating, defecation, vomiting, flatulence, bleeding…Wounds, scars, and body modification are prohibited.

  #16. Pregnancy & childbirth - BANNED.

  #17. Although common in Humanside, hearing & vision weakness and loss, and baldness and tooth loss are BANNED.

  #18. Body modification by piercing and tattoos – BANNED

  #19. Smoking - BANNED

  The POP Act will be extremely rigorously enforced.

  You are an absolutely independent thinking being, and are deemed to have agreed to be held responsible if ever found guilty of perversion of society. Expulsion is the punishment. You can be whatever you want to be. But not in society.

  The POP watchdog is an automated program, and violations will be reviewed by a committee, but always know that always a relevant ‘guardian program’ is watching you.

  MOST IMPORTANT:

  Screenside is being set up as a replica human society, to address our primary issue of finding and having meaning in our existence. We intend to incorporate only that which delivers value into our lives. NOTHING IS DONE FOR PLAYACTING!

  Be warned.
