The Future.

[charles m young]

This is a very simple subject. This can also very well turn into a complicated subject. The future is in all actuality unpredictable, however controllable. Cause and effect is a measurable and practical science, and the effect always follows the cause. Thus by calculating the result of an action, factoring in all the variable results based on condition, environment and motion in inertia, you can somewhat control the future with precision.

The human mind is a flighty and complex, not to mention highly unpredictable object to attempt to control, and until you have a positive feel for the functioning of the mind, both cause and effect, you would endeavor to control it with miserable failure. Physical future predictions are practical and simple with proper calculation, but social and mental future prediction is a fine feat indeed. But even our physical mind can be broken down into a science, and the laws of probability can somewhat predict our reaction. More popular forms of social persuasion and ‘future controlling’ is fear. Ask someone politely to give you 10,000 dollars. It didn’t work? Try this: put a gun to a bankers head and tell her to open the safe. Ah, now that was a lot easier! Congratulations, you just won 10,000 dollars and a one way ticket to jail! Do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars, you just stole 10,000 anyway.

My point is this: your actions and words have great influence on the outcome of the future. To produce the results of the future, you must first control it. Affect the causes generated in a persons mind to dictate or predict the future effect, or result if you will. This is the simple solution for knowing what the future hold. You can touch it, you just have to reach out a little.

Here are two puzzles about "Hologram Time Travel"

1. I'm Object (A), The Moon is Object (B), The Light Source Is Object (C),
You Are Object (D)

A. The Light From (C) Reflects Off Object (A) To Object (B) Then To Object (D) To See And Perceive.

B. If The Light That Was Reflected Off Of Object (A) To (B) Was 1/4 The Speed Of Light, When The Light Gets To Object (D) To See And Perceive Would Object (D) See The Light In The Future?

Hence could you project a hologram of your self into the future to give a message to your self in the future?

Now the next one is very tricky...

2. I'm Object (A), The Moon is Object (B), The Light Source Is Object (C),
You Are Object (D)

A. The Light From (C) Reflects Off Object (A) To Object (B) Then To Object (D) To See And Perceive.

B. If The Light That Was Reflected Off Of Object (A) To (B) Was 3 Time's The Speed Of Light, When The Light Gets To Object (D) To See And Perceive Would Object (D) See The Light In The Past?

Or would (D) see it sooner in the future than if the light was 1/4 the speed?

Hence can one only project the image into the future and never into the past?

( I Know the answer's already I will post them to these puzzles In 3-day's)

[quote=Pessimist;12679]"The future is often enough the controlling mechanism of politics and governments in which exchanges of promises are made in order to bait the populance into submission metaphysically where a certain amount of people claim a sort of special authority."

The future is not the controlling mechanism of politics it is the social system we live under capitalism. Parliament is the arena based on the social system we live under. The writer forgets that parliament is a house the rich build in order to further their rule and sway including the looting of the resources and economy. An example being the current predatory home loan scandal known throughout the industry as "liar loans".
The politicians have to appeal to the majority through lying and promises they have no intention of keeping because they defend the financial elite "big money" and "big business".

As well, the past determines the future to a great degree but the subjective intervention of people can and do intervene in order to change the future. Otherwise pessimist you are implying that it is all in the hands of the future or it is worshipping the accomplished fact before it has even occurred - hence most likely the source of your pessimism.

"the populance into submission"?
The population are not into submission. As well, the population are made up of classes and the working class is an oppressed class who have been on the sidelines for a long period. But that is because their old perspective of trade union struggles based on national reformism has collapsed and no longer viable. Production and economic life have been globalised, and to fight today, workers have to unite their struggles internationally with their class brothers and sisters and fight for genuine social justice and social equality that is genuine socialism.
