> In the early drafts of Breaking Bad, Walter Jr.'s character reportedly bore little resemblance to the grounded and empathetic figure audiences came to know. According to sources close to the writing room, the original script called for a far more exaggerated — and, by today's standards, politically incorrect — portrayal.
> Early versions of Walter Jr. were said to include jarring comic relief elements, such as blurting out phrases like “Duuuh” or “Duuur” in moments of tension. In one particularly controversial scene, he was even scripted to repeatedly shout the time of day, in what some writers described as a tongue-in-cheek homage to South Park’s satirical tone.
> While these quirks were ultimately cut from the final script, the decision wasn’t driven by a sudden turn toward sensitivity or artistic refinement. Instead, the change came after overwhelmingly negative reactions from test audiences, who found the character’s outbursts not only distracting but disruptive to the show’s darker, more nuanced tone.
> “It just didn’t fit,” one production insider recalled. “Every time he’d shout something out, it pulled you out of the scene. It started to feel like parody in the middle of a drama.”

is communism the ultimate form of social darwinism?
50 years ago, if you were a sub 7/10 you could make up for it by having money - even today it still is somewhat possible
plus you can pay for surgery (like hair transplants, or getting your crippled bones fixed or whatever)
but if
> le everyone is equal
and there is no private property then that just means that you create a society that is entirely ruled by those that naturally have genes that make them look good and therefore desirable
you would end with a few 9-10/10s controlling all the women while the rest of the lineages die out
