Future shock is the shattering stress and disorientation that we induce in individuals by subjecting them to too much change in too short a time.

The pilot looked at his cues of attitude and speed and orientation and so on and responded as he would from the same cues in an airplane but there was no way it flew the same. The simulators had showed us that.

It doesn't matter what color sex religion age sexual orientation etc. everyone should have the same freedoms and liberties.

Just as we reject racism sexism ageism and heterosexism we reject speciesism. The species of a sentient being is no more reason to deny the protection of this basic right than race sex age or sexual orientation is a reason to deny membership in the human moral community to other humans.
