You’re Not “Giving Up’ Anything

In my younger days, I couldn’t imagine living in the year 2025. It sounded so futuristic. Still does. But here we all are…and still without the flying cars that Popular Mechanics promised were just around the corner back in 1969. In elementary school, our teacher once gave us an assignment to draw a picture of what the year 2000 would look like. If I recall, mine included big satellite dishes on homes. I have no idea what I thought they’d be used for — they just looked futuristic to me, and I assumed they’d have a very important purpose. Now it seems ridiculous that these have already become outdated technology and were mainly used by consumers to watch television.

Last year was a strange one. As a nation, we learned even more about how we’ve been lied to for so long regarding so many things, and just how corrupt our government and so-called “justice system” really is. It was a year filled with tension, perhaps purposely imposed upon us by the Regime and the mainstream media.

Me too. Just hearing the year 2025 spoken brings to mind the song ‘In the Year 2525’. I’m sure that will pass.

As a child I expected to be taking vacations with my future family in 2025 in habitats/five star hotels visiting beautiful sites of the Moon and Mars and even Saturn.

What I didn’t expect was that NASA would become a master of excuses (the dog ate my homework) like my little sister.

As we get older we learn....

I can't recall a single time in my life that I even tried to conceptualize the future. I knew and know things will change so long as time goes on but I did not imagine that they would become so corruptly confused. I also did not think that Americans would so willingly give up their uniqueness and privileges out of some misplaced guilt or by the hand of politicians they elected to protect them. I never expected Americans to become so ignorant and dependent as so many are now.

For the most part change has been a fitting of new things into the old usually making the whole better. I wonder if AI is fully engaged the old will be pushed aside? Will AI arrange that for itself? Much of the change we see in our personal time is the fulfillment of the possible we were aware of many years ago in our lives and most of the fantastic future predicted has not come true.

I have this one narrow view out the window of my study that looks just about like it did when I was growing up. I use it when I remember better and more orderly times. Even the view of the stars has changed though, we no longer see the Milky Way.

Soylent Green took place in 2022.

I also recall Popular Science’s flying cars. It was an interesting magazine back then, long before they all became politicized with the glow-bull warming nonsense.

And in that era I never thought I’d see 2025.

More importantly, in 1969 I never thought the US would be close to becoming full communist by 2025 with scammed elections and a corrupt justice system.

As s kid I followed what Nasa was doing closely. After watching '2001 A Space Odyssey' I genuinely thought men would be living on the Moon. Even before that movie I had big dreams for the Year 2000. It symbolized a marvelous future for me. When 2001 eventually rolled around it was hijacked by some evil savages still stuck in the 7th century. The Moon landings were so successful they become boring and the Social Warriors ended the program with their whining. The one Gem that did occur was the Invention of the Internet. That was exciting and still is.

“The song was recorded in one take in 1968, at a studio in a cow pasture in Odessa, Texas.” According to Wiki. Ends with the year 9595 and extinction. I’m not so sure we’re going to make it that far.

Our civilization is collapsing while we watch. We have a ringside seat.

I agree, it is an interesting seat in time. Like Danzel said in Equalizer, “the guy holding his gun on me is dead, he just doesn’t know it yet.”

When I was a kid I recall marveling when Neil Armstrong took that first step on the moon. I went to bed dreaming of the amazing future that lay ahead.

I woke up the next morning and every single newscast - as if orchestrated (which we now know to be the case) - was questioning if we should put money into the space program when there were "hungry people on Earth".

It was one of the biggest let-downs of my life.

I did, however, go on to become an engineer at NASA, so there's that. :)
