It’s cool that Clarke and Asimov both correctly predicted stuff about the future. It’s less cool that Vonnegut did, too…

The main message of Vonnegut's short story "Harrison Bergeron" concerns the importance of balancing equality with freedom and individualism. The story demonstrates how equality is not to be confused with "sameness" and warns of the disastrous effects of suppressing individuality.
Maybe it's time to reread Vonnegut, all of it. He saw everything.
Several doses of Vonnegut might make a nice replacement for crt
