* Alternatively, she ''was'' a genius, and a schoolfriend of Diana Moon Glampers. Then Hazel came to grips with the fact that Diana's vision of a world with absolute equality was wrong. She told Diana, "If you want to handicap anyone, you'll have to {{go through me}} first." Diana responded, "Works for me!" and bashed Hazel's head against the wall so as to inflict permanent brain damage.

The original short story, as stated above, was a FutureImperfect retelling. The movie tells the real story- however, Harrison’s attempted suicide fails, and he is somehow saved by doctors (thanks to future technology or whatever). He is then taken into custody and, for six years, tortured [[Literature/NineteenEightyFour Ministry Of Love-style]] [[TwoPlusTortureEqualsFive to make him love “equality”]]. He eventually escapes and the events of ''2081'' occur. As a result of his endless torture, Harrison [[SanitySlippage has become significantly more... unstable]]. [[TraumaCongaLine No wonder though...]]

[[WMG: This story is the future of Literature/{{The Sirens of Titan}}.]]
Coming after the institution of Rumfoord's religion and the associated handicaps, society eventually gets its hands on one of the mind control devices implanted in the surviving martians' heads. Unable to perfectly replicate the technology, the US Government designs the ear radios in their place. The chrono-synclastic infundibulum might have something to do with the younger Bergeron's abilities.
*The beginning of Literature/TheSirensOfTitan states that mankind has come to understand the meaning of life. But, since that novel also implies that mankind has always been guided by aliens to supply a replacement part for an alien ship, it's not a stretch that this meaning of life cited is really just to stop thinking.

[[WMG: Harrison "flying in the air" was just a misunderstanding by the viewers.]]
Since the story's world is based around the idea of bringing everyone down to the lowest common denominator, what would be considered "normal" abilities would be very minor in real life - Harrison may have only jumped several feet in the air. Though, this does leave the mention of "kissing the roof" out of the picture...

That's it, really.
