I followed an intriguing link on Stewart’s sidebar, which took me to Matt Webb Jones, which in turn took me to a fascinating site about John Titor. Claiming to be a time traveller from 2036, Titor posted to an online forum from November 2000 through March 2001.
The first two lines of the quote are what stuck with Stewart and Matt, but it’s the third line that resonates with me. And not just because of the obvious national and international relevance…it also hits way too close to the (mostly) unbloggable frustrations I have about my job these days.
Perhaps I should let you all in on a little secret. No one likes you in the future. This time period is looked at as being full of lazy, self-centered, civically ignorant sheep. Perhaps you should be less concerned about me and more concerned about that.
