I’m starting to believe this obsession with zombie, rogue AI, alien, and environmental armageddons is the result of an overly comfortable world with a desperate craving for a new enemy to face so we can finally stop fighting ourselves.

It strikes me as ironic then that it didn't kick in strong enough when archaic humans finally encountered Neanderthals, or perhaps by then exogamy was an established practice for building trust in both hominid species, either way it's something I muse on.

I don't think that's an uncanny valley thing, given humans capacity to pack bond with just about anything, including sing anthropomorphized mice. I'll think on it more. I mean humans are weird, thousands of people get feels because the Mars Curiosity sings itself happy birthday.

What disturbs me about zombies is not the zombie, it is the fascination humanity has with them and the inner lack of well being it reflects.
