Wow. I’ve thought these thoughts in part, and yet you’ve traveled the road to completion and describe it much more eloquently than I could have. Looking for more of your talks now. Thanks

This fits my theory that something that is at 1,000,000% impossible to happen in actuality is 100% likely now. It’s like a clock it just goes around until it becomes inevitable.

They’ve already manufactured our consent to never stop with predictions.
Ever notice how, despite ppl commonly saying how correlation isn’t causation, most people refer to whatever “statistics” are mentioned – without even looking at the studies and methods of getting said statistics?
Just look out for the next fact you hear from someone. Ask where they got it from. And then think… if they said “I heard this thing on Facebook” as a prefix, would you still listen to it and believe it?

Star Trek did a great job offering up possibilities that are actually coming true. From touch screen pads (P.A.D.D.’s), to non-invasive surgery, and more, which inspire people today, because Star Trek was about hopefulness, creativity, diversity, and problem-solving. And thus shaping our world with it’s predictions!
