The Simpsons And Life

I don't like people who talk about how great The Simpsons is. So I won't talk about that. Rather, I'll talk about how The Simpsons is becoming life.

Right now, it's the longest running cartoon show. Five more years, it'll be the longest running television show. Now, what makes The Simpsons unique is that if it keeps running, it'll become life.

A story represents one probability amongst the billions of probabilities in life.
If each character is simply a cipher that we identify with, then eventually, every probability will be described by the Simpsons. Every event in our life will have a reference to a Simpsons episode. We will see our life before it happens. We will see Bart become an accountant before we do. We will have a line from The Simpsons for every event in our lives. We won't process anything anymore, it will be Simpsons-memory. Every moment will be a deja vu. Like the monkeys on the typewriter, only Harvard-educated monkeys, to make it faster and available every Sunday.
