Dont forget the 5th dimension, collective consciousness transfiguration, karma purging cleansing and balancing, first contact with sentient entities, and the next age of spirit awakening and space travel.

Something big is happening, Clear Channel (TM) has almost bought al the US radio stations and they don't play obscure music any longer. That means all you new kids on the block will grow up listening to commercially created consumeristic claptrap with no meaning. You will all be nursing at the nonpolitical, no-free speech, unimportant media tit. It will look perfect but will be silicone with fake nipples. There will be hoops in them for the effect of freedom but it will still just be fake boobs of a sterile new medium. Long live Kazaa and internet piracy, blogs, and freedom of expression, even if noone in power gives a hoot. Long live the BBS, street protests and fucking in the bushes. And Fuck the Bushes! Down with GPS, down with Amber Laws, down with succint and clearly defined US Constitution. Long live the gray areas of life. Lobg live nature. Long live the time to meditate and just chill. Death to the coming machine. Death to the coming GPS. Death to the coming population control.

Death to freedom. That's what's really coming. Mugabe oh bugger me! How did things get this way? Too much McDonald's. Macpolitics, Macschool, Macfriends, Macbeliefs, Mac freedom. If it can't be packaged and bought for a buck Americans don't want it. Just ask Bush the swaggering turkey toter.

who listens to the radio anymore anyways? as corporations control more and more of the pithy "fm" more and more people will flock to the internet for their radio and music. Dont be so brash, every action has a reaction.

>> Think back to the sixties, when everyone talked about how the planet was going to change

Yeah, but they were all high on drugs!

No, but seriously, I think they were absolutely correct. They witnessed the Kennedy assassination, and the subsequent Vietnam war. That was an extraordinary change for the world: it just wasn't what they anticipated. Keeping up with my typical dramatic and overly forceful metaphors, the blood of democratic America was tapped at the heart and drained by slimy, black and hungry demons, laughing in delight as they transformed the Western World into a bloated and gassy swamp of corruption and rot.

It is intruiging to note that almost 50 years ago, people were coming in to the same ideas our generation of psychedelic drug users are today.

Hehe Ped :smile:

Problem with predicting "something big", is that there certainly will be some event that could be labeled as "big" if you want to.

how about a string of 'big' events, leading to complete transformation of the earth and the way things are done, and our perception of reality.

Still quite vague, isn't it? For example, take 9/11.. I'm sure a lot of people regard it as exactly that.

I could be quite specific, but I don't want to, based on past experience that only causes controversy. I'd rather be vague.

"how about a string of 'big' events, leading to complete transformation of the earth and the way things are done, and our perception of reality."

shroomism, this has happened before and it will happen again, in fact, its always happening! the earth has been in constant transformation since the age of enlightenment (and before that, to a lesser extent), and our percpetion of reality has been in constant flux since we started thinking.

I think the world economy is going to change for the worst. Unemployment is rising everywhere, people are replaced by machines and efficiency, and while this has been going on for quite a while, the system is under stress right now.
It'll have to collapse some day, as people in poor countries can't continue to work for slave wages forever, and when they do stop, production costs will increase and/or company profits will have to decrease. Think about it, it can't keep going, unless the system can create another need for consumers, just as it did the internet.

I agree with shroomism, but i think only becuase its more fun that way

lots of things are headed for a change, well shit they always are. But its like we are in a bottle neck, we have been going there since the 20s imo. Who knows how much longer we will go this way, but at some point we are going to either break out, into something "new" or travel backwards untill we are ready

A writer/professor named Vernor Vinge came up with a concept that he refers to as a "singularity".... a point in the future at which the rate of knowledge growth goes asymptotic, and anything beyond that point is unpredictable, due to the massive growth. This is one possibility, and actually appears to be happening as we speak...growth of knowledge is accellerating, and will soon be completly beyond prediction.
As far as patterns, history does have patterns...and we're in for one gigantic war pretty soon...the middle east, and the intervention of major powers is just the spark that's going to start the fire...15 years, if i don't miss my guess, maybe 10. Pretty close to novelty theory...weird.

Now, who are these people that are going to change the world? and why are there 3 of them currently? How does one spot these people?
Very intresting, i'd like to know where that came from..
Neways, let go, take hold, and hope for the best.
Stay Frosty.

Pfft. If you consider four elite mutant turtles devoting their lives to battle 'little effort'.
