I had forgotten the word for it. Fairly certain I have this. I can swim in a pool or where I can touch bottom. Boats in freshwater lakes and rivers are fine. You will never find me on the open ocean, great slave lake or even Lake Superior, fuck that. For me it’s a fear of not knowing what or how big aquatic life in deep water can be. Also how fucked one can be if stranded in such places. It’s a phobia because even when the stimulus does not present any harm (think a photo of open ocean), there is an anxiety spike and feeling of fear.

Anti-tachyon response:

Dear Futurelings,
Sorry to hear you're having a tough time out there near the heat death of the universe. That must suck after all those aeons of utopian life. We'll try to fit a ban on technological progress into our schedule, but it might be tricky. We're kinda busy working on ensuring the planet can support human life for the next 50 years and looking forward to being vaporized by our own sun.
Love,
The Pastlings

P.S. Thanks for describing utopia in such detail. It sounds really boss, you dicks!
