Think it would depend on several factors. One of them would have to be having an illness that couldn't currently be cured. I don't think the lure of seeing the future would be enough for me. What if society has already peaked and the future is bleak and awful?
Zoom Rabbit Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Do they have phasers yet? If not, I'm going back to cryosleep because I hear tell there are wookies there.
Artisa Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Cryogenically freeze myself? Na. For one thing, culture shock sucks. For another, I'd have to spend a lifetime making another set of good real-life friends I'd be comfortable with.
Huz Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 But on the plus side, all your current real-life friends would be DEAD and you'd have the last laugh. HAHAHAHA! Like that. It's possible that the future isn't bleak and awful. More than likely, even. I'd want to be cryogenically frozen until such time as humanity has easy access to flying cars and hoverboards, at least.

Zoom Rabbit Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 If the future looks like Detroit, I'm heading for the past. Thanks. (If one isn't familiar with the downfall of American civilization, know that Detroit has been a slow motion dance into Armageddon for about 20 years now, and recently declared bankruptcy. There are no jobs, the infrastructure is failing, most of downtown is boarded up and it is dangerous just walking the streets in broad daylight.) Now, what the Matrix had to say about AI... That would be another matter.
RoyTordesLegend Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Detroits fascinating, America is a crazy place. I'd move to Wales if I was you.
Zoom Rabbit Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 I would move to Japan, for the swords, the zen, the tea, the kabuki theatre and the lovely geishas. Did I mention saki? Or anime? I'd bring my own clothes, though. I think a kimono looks like a dress.

Here we have forested mountains, wild elk and unknown parts where white man has not yet set foot. Big Foot lives here, they say. I stay well away from cities like Detroit. Although I do live in the rough part of town here in the little city of Medford, when one hears gunshots in the night...it usually means someone has a possum in the yard.
RoyTordesLegend Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 I do often wonder if this is the peak of it all, and that it's all downhill to apocalypse now
Artisa Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 Are you referring to Detroit, or the forum activity as a whole?
Zoom Rabbit Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 We did invent ear porn... That means the fix is in. What's left? Blow the seven trumpets.

Artisa Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 I have to agree with Huz, I wasn't a poster back then either, just a lurker!
Huz Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 We're entering a new golden age. I can feel it. All we need is the return of Thrik and C Shutt and we'll be there.
Artisa Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Someone get them here now and jump-start the golden age!
Zoom Rabbit Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 *(Sacrifices a sheep to Cthulhu, then roasts the mutton over a jolly fire.)* If their spirits, like McCoy, are still earthbound...they will be drawn here. All we can do is wait.
