The Twilight Zone episode didn’t mention the $10 fee. Creepy! Also I wish body disposition were really that cheap.

[@bbbuly3826]

HARD

[@kathodehay]

Probably someone else has already said this, but it reminds me of Harrison Bergeron’ by Vonnegut. Also, of course, ‘The Marching Morons’ by Kornbluth, and the movie ‘Idiocracy’. Excellently read! Henry Slesar has not received the recognition he deserves! A master of the short story.

[@Thatgirl_LeaLee]

Me right after I read this in school shocked because dead curious if there is anymore toward the story 🙄

[@masonis_2real]

I have this story as a major test, and Holy moly is this story dark. Utopias and Dystopias are dark.

[@FrenchEdward06]

The tales that are not beyond the realm of possibility are always the scariest. Thanks for listening..

You can't win for losing on earth. Could it be any different on the other side?

[@low-keyrighteous9575]

I like in the episode of the twilight zone Instead of the father telling dicky to go read his comics his dad says " why don't you go watch TV" while dicky is right in the middle of reading his comics . Suggesting his son watch TV in hopes it will make him dumber maybe .. lol . Great episode of the twilight zone

No free thinkers allowed

[@vlogswithmartin508]

I just have one question. It might be dumb but, is this fiction or real?

[@kiwichan5438]

Vlogs with Martin its not real but if in real life Government experiments 🧪 they would breed humans and test them so they can only have smart humans and if your were not smart enough for there standers then they would get rid of you

[@tomhamilton5261]

Excellent narration of a brilliant story......Chilling

[@scoopdwoop7662]

[@Offshoreorganbuilder]

What a horrible story! (Thanks for the upload.)

[@FrenchEdward06]

Let's hope it's not prophetic....

[@Offshoreorganbuilder]

edward french It would be one way to keep the population sufficiently dim-witted, so that they did not think too seriously about what is happening to them. (Maybe this explains the falling standards in formal education? Perhaps this has already happened! It would, for instance, explain why those responsible for the 2008 financial crash were never brought to book.)

[@Jopo1226]

@@Offshoreorganbuilder our education system is developed to make people smart, but not too smart. Even evil empires need specialist. The thing lacking in our education is challenging our superiors. They don't teach that in school. I once had an issue with an employer with defamation and I had to pull intelligence out of my ass. I think challenging just to challenge is not needed, but challenging does serve a purpose.

Examination Day has always been one of my favorite episode or skit on the Twilight Zone. I enjoyed your reading of the story although I would honestly prefer to read it myself. After reading your statement “Any resemblance to governments past, present or future is entirely intentional.” I just had to like 👍🏼 and subscribe. 📖📚📖📚📖📚📖
