Being such a curious creature, is it possible we imagine the future correctly and what we are creating now will come to pass ?
Don't know. If so, what does that say about us. The holocaust, the crusades and on and on and on. I'd hate to think that we imagined those things correctly and they came to pass.
Maybe as we have progressed over time has lead this specific quality more accurate. maybe we are at all times imagining things just x amount of years away and that value is getting less and less over time.
Until suddenly x is yesterday?
Im thinking ahead to when the glaciers shall again cover the North and leave an additional portion in a tundra like condition. Or how about a really big comet strike?. We can see these as a certainty and we wont begin any planning till its waay too late.
Oddly enough I think it's a way of preparing ourselves for it.
Ahhh robots taking over the world we saw that in 2000 or something with terminator...no big deal !
you are, i think, algis, confusing 'prescience' with 'premonition'; both are similar in nature, but the former is based upon thought, while the later comes from a 'hunch' like sort of dream state mental image without basis.
[the future is just the past, waiting to happen]
Wasn't that Harry Seldons theory ? Hi BoGoWo
6 billion people imagine 6 billion different futures
many of us work to create the future we imagine but circumstances intervene, some worry excessively about possible futures that never come to pass. Why are some better than others at making their dreams come true? Who or what really determines our fate?
Then why this fasination with explosions and destruction ? Are the Chinese or Hindus watching this much violence or are they watching something better.I think better all in all.
My thoughts are this post will eventually fade to obsurity.
It's happened so amny times before
I cannot even keep up with the forgotten posts
You can help me if you want
I don't want to have to bribe you with fancy language now.
