That’s cheating. You can’t use something that has already happened.

That’s easy:
“That Hideous Strength” by C.S.Lewis...
It’s only a Supreme Court ruling away.

I think the least likely is that The History Channel will start do carry programming about historical events.

I don't see "Zombie Apocalypse" on the list.
Is that because it already happened?

“The Singularity” is a liberal, mythical version of heaven - technology will create benevolent artificial intelligences and we can upload our brains to become perfect, immortal entities living through paradise artificial worlds.

The Singularity used here refers to the belief popularized by writer Ray Kurzweil in his book The Singularity is Near Love it! I don't think it will happen in my lifetime, though. There is some theory (the name escapes me, 'Moore's law'?) that says computing power doubles every so many years, and that if graphed it shows that computing power will surpass the human brain at some point in the future.
Fascinating stuff.

lol, I’m conservative as they come, but I still think intelligent machines would be awesome. I do agree that libs see it almost like a religious event though.
To: KevinDavis
bump.
Very close already.

I agree. That is our most likely future. Whe’re halfway there already, except that our stupid, unqualified, popularly-elected black president isn’t man enough to be a wrestler.

A dystopian future, perhaps like 1984 or the Hunger Games where life is cheap, the state is all and the past is whatever the rulers say it is.

I’ve heard so much about this movie. Is it worth buying? Can’t seem to find it to watch for free.

It's got to be "something else". Has to be.
What "something else"? I have no idea, but given the vast range of things that could happen, its highly unlikely that more than a small fraction of us will see it coming before it is on us.

BINGO!
Have loved that story ever since I first read it some 50 years ago.
They are already marching, and, unfortunately, even starting to double-time.
