I'd prefer 1967 if I had my choice - to me it was a perfect year...perfect people, perfect music, perfect styles, perfect TV, perfect decor....almost everything perfect except Vietnam and even that was kind of in the background then. I loved 1967. |

Things suck, but as long as I have her to wake up next to each day, I’m happy with living in the now. Quoting: Rorschach Watchmen Well then you're a man's man. Very well put brother. Thanks man! Great thread nonetheless, the 90s were my childhood and do miss that freedom we had. This generation is fucked, can’t get away with anything. Yep. Spoiled in many ways, trapped in many more. They don't get to go out riding bicycles or skate boards, get lost in the woods, do dumb shit that teaches you not to do dumb shit lol Big brother and big tech have a hand in everything there kids are doing. :memorybanner: |

Quoting: eyeDR3 If I could go back there as exactly who I am, I would! The music, the gatherings, blockbuster, malls, amusement parks in their prime, pre 911 by 9 years... Sooo many reasons. I could help convince everyone to not vote for Clinton and to push Trump to run! Only if I could not have to relive what I have survived through from that date to now. |

User ID: 77751888 United States 03/16/2021 08:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Can I choose 29 years into the future, instead? Quoting: AxX Don’t get me wrong, I’m definitely a child of the 80s. But going back a bit just means we end up HERE again. There have been some fantastical times in my past I’d love to live through again and some I’d like to do differently, but ultimately, you’ll still have the rest of your years to live through after those fleeting moments are gone. Then, where do you end up? Right back to 2020. Yeah, I think I’d want to take my chances 29 years forward and hope it’s far enough ahead to get out of this current phase we’re in. Great points there too. It would also create timeline distortion if you changed any outcomes... Could turn out better or worse. What will 29 years from now look like? Hundreds of books and dozens of movies deal with that very question. All of them wrong. Just take a look at “recent history” as an example. 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968). Sure, they showed video phones and tablets, but also had humans going to Mars in 2001, 33 years into the future. Speaking of the future, Back to the Future (1985) went 30 years ahead to 2015 and saw flying cars and holographic man eating sharks. Where are we now, in the real world 30 years later? Still on Earth. Still hanging wires from pole to pole for power. Everyone working to pay for those in poverty, rich still making sure the game goes on. Sci-fi may get some tech right, but it’s vision of society is always wrong. My guess for the next 29 years is sadly more of the same, but that’s why I’d love to skip ahead to it. Just to see if it does get better. :) Energy flows where focus goes. [25/77/22] Rev 3:9 <-- Wonder who these guys are? “The future’s uncertain and The End is always near!” - Jim Morrison, 1970 |

We are more hyper aware of what is going on in the world so the quickening and eventual singularity seems likely, but still a bit away. Covid was a hatchet in the door. :memorybanner: |
