Cubicles

Human beings weren't meant to sit in cubicles all day, staring at computer screens.

In the vintage TV sci-fi series Space: 1999, there was an episode about an advanced alien civilization whose preoccupation was meditating in crystalline cubicles. The show was from the 1970s.

Where are the changing cubicles?

What happened with Protestant conversions from Roman Catholicism in my extended family didn't go far enough for me, as I had a tendency for Buddhism since prepubescence, largely from sci-fi shows like Star Trek with Mr. Spock's Vulcan philosophy and Space: 1999 with aliens meditating in glass cubicles. I was impressionable to these images and ideas at a young age. By my thirties, I became interested in other Eastern philosophies like Daoism and Hinduism. Things like Baptism, Pentecostal, Mormonism, Jehovah's Witnesses, etc. weren't far enough for me...
