I ran across a couple stories that I found amazing. It could just be coincidence, but it's eerie as hell.... I think it could also be an insight into conciousness. Maybe a quantum connection we all share some how.



1: the novel telling the story if the Titanic 14 years before it happened!!!


en.m.wikipedia.org...




2: Edgar Allen Poe correctly predicting a famous "lost at sea" event.

What do y'all think? Did they get lucky with their tales? Or is there some ability to see the future involved?

I remember reading about "Titan" when I was a kid in one of those 'Ripleys Believe it or Not' compendiums. I wasnt aware of the Poe book, but the Titan story was eerily creepy in its near perfect foreshadowing of the Titanic tragedy. Though it was really nuts that the guy they ate in Poe's book and the real boat accident had the same name.

My "Phillip K. Dick" take on Futility is that it was written by a time traveler to demonstrate the futility of trying to tinker with the timelines. As in once an event has happened it cannot be made to unhappen.

As a huge fan of PK Dick, I find that to be a rather interesting take on things! Well done.

With all the details in Futility it really gets my conspiracy sense tingling. Maybe when concentrating on writing an author can slip into a meditative state and accidentally begin remote viewing.

Many years ago I found a collection called 'The Science Fiction of Jack London'. One of his stories opined a situation where 1) Japan invades China; 2) China throws them out 3)China expands into Viet Nam; 4) the French send in an army and it gets wiped out (Dien Bien Phu?). Ultimately the World, terrified of a huge and aggressive China, seals the borders and drops germ-laden tubes in country and wipes them out. Japan, China, Viet Nam, germ warfare. Fascinating.

story is called 'The Unparelleled Invasion'. here is link!

All humans, when concentrating on their art forms may be able to tap into some kind of knowledge. I've seen it in books, paintings, movies, music, etc. It's like they don't know they are doing it, or information is somehow beamed into their brains and they think the idea is their own. Or maybe it is their own idea and rather than some outside force choosing to give this particular individual the information, the artist themselves are formulating ideas based on their surroundings like a computer that predicts the odds of certain outcomes. The brain is probably much more powerful than some of us realize. We think we are just trying to come up with an interesting form of entertainment, but we are also making predictions of the future, or in some cases, putting together the puzzle pieces of past events. Where do our thoughts come from anyway?

Didn't the author of the Conan series claim to have been able to see into the past?

I read "Snowcrash" years ago. At that time I thought it was a fun and imaginative story. Now, I see it as uncannily, eerily, disturbingly prophetic.

I stumbled across a book, the title of which I think is "The Second Civil War: The Coming Breakup of America" --something like that. It was written over a decade ago. I find it ominous that several things the author predicted "way back then" are coming to fruition.

The latter book I mentioned is not reading that would appeal to everyone because it broaches the taboo and not "politically correct" topics of race, multiculturalism, and empire.

I don't comment on those issues.

If you like that kind of thing, you would devour this book like a starving lunatic.
