    Time travel, disintergration of society, street performance as survival tool






    (Meanwhile I expose myself at the cornwall village talent show,)
    Anyone got anything pithy re time travel or this guy in particular?

    "As far as the war goes, my best advice is to find at least 5 people within 100 miles of you that you trust with your life."


    "My definition of a patriot is anyone who defends the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic."

    "avoid Washington DC at 3:45 AM on March 12, 2015."

    "Consider this: You are a time traveler who wishes to go back in time to 1941 because your grandparents live close to Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. You realize you can't stop the war but you may be able to help them prepare for it. Strangely, December 7th comes and goes with no sneak attack. As the war in Europe rages on, Japan fails to join the axis power, there is no war in the Pacific and the United States remains neutral. Then, you watch as Germany begins to develop the atomic bomb… all by themselves."


    (Where was I?)
    A time machine would allow you to juggle a multitude of balls but would probably confuse your audience.

    (this guy popped in for months in 2000 on a couple of usergroups said he was from the future and that an amerian civil war would happen in 2004 go for 10 years as a terrorist police state and then the russians bomb the cities in 2011 to kill the govt and still leave people.in the country to rebuild. He posted and replied to questions and described his mission which was to retrieve an obscure computer program hidden in the software of the release of unique early portable 1975 IBM portable computer.Then he left, hasn't been heard from since late 2000 but its stuck out there in the net and looks errie)
    I'm sorry. Am I fucking boring you?

      Well, the good news is that most entertainment in 2036 seems to be small scale, live, and appreciated.

      Now to buy that wee plot in the country and begin the stockpiling ...

        "Are some areas of the United States safer than others?

        Take a close look at the county-by-county voting map from the last
        elections."

        "What event started the war? Can it be stopped?

        The war is a result of faulty politics and desperation from Western
        leadership during the US civil war. Yes, I suppose you could stop it."

        Did anyone else notice how many times this guy alludes to Bush Jr.?
        Scary stuff.

          I think this is a beautiful, imaginary construction using the internet as media.

          I suspect the artist/s that created this have been waiting a while for recognition.

          The computer jargon is flawless (I go all the way back to 'fortran progamming' in the 60's and know what he is talking about) and the "predictions" are predicted with fabulous writing. The script is challenging but plausible and exciting.

          I love it.

          It has all the elements of a great show and an obviously growing audience. Let's watch it develop.

          Mind you, I also find it a little scary but I'm sceptical.

            the Chinese are coming ...

            they want your women ...

            ... sounds plausible to me.
