[Ken's set the Dreamberry up against a book; he's slumped opposite it, chin resting on one wrist. The picture is slightly crooked, and he reaches out to steady the screen.
[Then he glares at it, as if it personally has done him some grave disservice.]
So, these dream... post things. What right have we got to be seeing this stuff?
[I'm looking at you, Dreamberry. Ken glares a bit more, then sighs.]
This ain't TV, right? It's... someone else's head in here. It's private and this thing's dishing it up like it was a stupid drama or something and it's - you're all, why not watch it if it's there? Like TV. And everyone does it and it starts seeming so normal and... and what the Hell's with that, why's that supposed to be okay now just because it's everywhere and--
Look, I'm not saying I'm better than anyone else, I do it too and I don't know why I ever figured it was just fine to, it's not a show and... and... Damn, I hate this place!
[And off.]

Date: 2011-07-13 12:21 am (UTC)Well if you think it's a good idea it's definitely completely messed up!
no subject
Date: 2011-07-13 12:23 am (UTC)I didn't say it was a good idea, just that it might be bad to completely ignore dreams that get shown.

Date: 2011-07-13 12:27 am (UTC)Well, my guess is there's enough psychos out there that's not gonna be a problem. This place can get by without me joining in!

Just kinda seems to me private stuff should stay private. Even if it is right there.
no subject
Date: 2011-07-14 09:11 am (UTC)But... I do think that dreams should be private. Isn't that why they're in the head in the first place?

Date: 2011-07-14 03:05 am (UTC)[Ken blinks. Hesitates. He's never been very good at explaining at the best of times; trying to explain to someone else something even he doesn't fully get was always going to be tricky.]
Well. When I wasn't... I was just watching this stuff like it was nothing. Was that better?
[That? That was a genuine question.]
no subject
Date: 2011-07-13 07:43 pm (UTC)So I guess this place doesn't differentiate between showing off the dreams that others are allowed to see and those they aren't.

Date: 2011-07-14 06:00 pm (UTC)Do we know how it records them in the first place?

I... well, I was just thinking.

Date: 2011-07-15 01:49 am (UTC)[He looks down, feeling a bit guilty in his own right now Ken's pointed it out. Guilty and uncomfortable because while the reasoning makes sense... He can't really say he intends to stop watching them. They contain valuable information sometimes.]

no subject
Date: 2011-07-16 12:20 am (UTC)[... Well. He's used to poking his nose into everyone's business, since it kind of came with his job and he never really had something called a 'social life' to teach him that you don't really do that outside of said job.]
Anything in particular that sparked this, or...?
