The funny thing about liars is that after a while they inevitably can't keep track of everything they've said.
I do have a couple of questions regarding some of the Titor fiction..
He stated that "our time" isn't well liked by the people of the year 2036 .. "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." And yet he goes on to say that "The elderly are highly revered and looked after on a community level." Well wouldn't the elderly of his time be the very people of "our time" that they don't like? Aren't the elderly of 2036 the very sheep of which he speaks? Just curious as to why we would be revered if we are so disliked.
And he's never heard of VR yet the web still exists? Isn't VR something that this technology has always aimed a bit of promise towards achieving someday, yet a supposed traveler from the future has never even heard of it? Are all references to VR going to be removed from the web in the next couple years?
Must be.
And in a society where they still have the internet, someon doesn't understand the interest in Bill Gates?
He also said about food "It's very hard for me to find food here. It all scares the Hell out of me.
I've found a couple of local farms where I am reasonably sure the raw food
is safe and my mother started a garden for me."
If his mother was taking care of him as a three year old you would think she would have had her hands full, my daughter was three once, kept me very busy, most likely I would have told her to try canned peaches and tunafish from the grocery store than to start a garden as her private food source if she showed up at my place as an adult while I was raising her at three. And his posts span over a year, I'd love to know what explanation his folks gave the rest of the family as to who he was during the holidays. And yet even though he was visiting his parents from the future, it wasn't until his neighbor was arrested that his father felt it was time to move into the country?
My kid shows up from the future and I don't do anything to protect my family from impending social breakdown until the neighbor gets arrested?
My grandson shows up as an adult to get me to tweak a computer before he's even born, and I don't tell anyone, ever, not even my kid who will be responsible for this grandchild's birth in the first place? Ok rrriiiiggghhhtttt.
Hey don't get me wrong the John Titor postings are a clever bit of story writing, but to take any of it as truth at face value is, well like buying a watch off a guy on the streets and expecting it to really be a Rolex, isn't it?
It's a fun story to read though.
I was amused.
