Marty McFly: Hey, Doc! Where you goin' now? Back to the future?
Doc: Nope. Already been there.
Credits roll…
You don't need a time machine. You're already living in the future. The self that started reading this is not even the self that read this word. Even your body is nothing but a biological Ship of Theseus.
What makes you, you? Is it an illusion? I'm not sure why Doc lied. Our futures are set in stone, carved out of thick marble. You can't make your future whatever you want it to be.
That first Marty that left Lone Pine Mall never returned, and I'm sure his family was devastated. Playing with time is tricky business and who knows who might get hurt.
In real life, there would be no changing pictures, what you saw is what you saw and that's how it's going to be. You're just an observer. You can't change anything.
What's up Doc?
That thing has to be true, right?
Ding ding ding
It's weird when you first find out. You know, when you first find out that pretty much everything you were told is a lie.
Well, I guess some things are true… I think… I don't know.
If I was fooled before, can't I just be fooled again? What if I'm fooled right now, and I was right before? What if I've never been right?
What if no one is actually controlling this ship? What if no one really knows what's going on?
That would actually kinda make better sense than this. Or maybe not.
Something's missing….
The voices seem quiet for right now. They're just barely there like the sound of the breeze in a desolate desert canyon. Can you still hear them? Nah, me neither. Maybe they won't come back.
The stars above make me think it's all a dream. It's a massive expanse that I can't wrap my mind around. Why? That's the question. That's the elephant in the room. Would knowing make anything different? Knowing might just create a whole new set of problems.
Fool
Why do you want me to do that? Are you taking away my freedoms? Why is that different from what my parents told me? Why would you question the guy I follow when he's clearly an outsider?
Shoe drop……
I get puzzled sometimes. I still see people angry that someone would wear a face mask. I thought this was the land of the free, the land to work until the day you die and pay taxes and if you don't you get sent to prison to be a literal slave for the state. They don't care about that though. They're more worried about masks. They've bought into a culture war that's only purpose is to divert attention from the real issues. Didn't people used to mind their own business or was that a dream I had?
