    Default Predictive Programming

    This is just a small sample of all the Predictive Programming that is out there...
    The pilot episode for the FOX series "The Lone Gunmen" Which first aired on March 4, 2001. The plot envisioned the US Government hijacking a plane and crashing it into the World Trade Center.

    Hi Robbie interesting threadThere has been a lot of films and sci/fi seeries that have changed our future.....Its the Chicken and egg scenario ....What comes first the writers creativity or the scientific gadgets ?
    James Bond films always had a new Boys toys for 007 to show off to the audiance...


    The Science of star Trek as a boy I always wanted a comunicator and we have all got mobile phones and much more...


    From early 50's sci/fi films to 101 a space oddyssey ,Star Wars ,Close Encounters, ET , Universal soldiers , Terminator ,blade Runner, Alian, Bourn Identity,Star Gate. and many more.....
    With such a soup anything is possible, and now we our learning we may be creating our own universe by the collective conciousnes of the spoken word from
    each individual Human creator and the recent theories on parrallel universes only widen the realms of possibilities....Recent disaster movies are designed to coinside with 2012 mayan calender speculation and get into our psyche fear of the unknown......But as Ion has been telling us shows like Fringe , The Event, & Rubicon a brilliant political thriller axed after the first season for getting close to the rotton core of US corporate/political corruption, are a sort of diclosure !!!!!!!







    Maybe we are in the Matrix and we are all experiancing a different trip on the same train.....



    All I know is fact is stranger than fiction and science is only true untill it is superceded by new science so who knows what is reality, and what is just a Human Creator experiancing contrast ?????????????????

    How Do ‘The Simpsons’ Keep Predicting The Future?

    What began as a string of coincidences has since presented an undeniable pattern. Discussions surrounding the statistical phenomenon were reignited this past week when a 2007 punchline about the US government borrowing some of Tom Hanks’ credibility after the administration ran out of its own was actually birthed into reality. So how is it possible for an animated series like The Simpsons to keep making strangely accurate predictions about the future years – sometimes over a decade – before they occur?

    The explanation is actually fairly straightforward and the furthest thing from sinister (I can already hear the tinfoil hat brigade crying “predictive programming“). Essentially, the brains behind The Simpsons – and Futurama, given the cross-pollination of comedic talent – are renowned for being the most over-educated and over-qualified television writers going around. As of 2014, the show has hired dozens of scribes who’ve studied at the prestigious Harvard University:
    • Al Jean
    • Dan McGrath
    • John Collier
    • Greg Daniels
    • Patric Verrone
    • Bill Canterbury
    • David X. Cohen / David S. Cohen
    • Jon Vitti
    • Richard Appel
    • Bill Oakley
    • David Sacks
    • Ken Keeler
    • Steve Tompkins
    • Jeff Westbrook
    • Conan O’Brien (yes… that Conan O’Brien)
    • George Meyer
    • Max Pross
    • Steve Young
    • Dan Greaney
    • Jeff Martin
    • Mike Reiss
    • Tom Gammill
    • Nell Scovell
    • Daniel Chun
    • Matt Warburton
    • J. Stewart Burns


    Many of the names listed above did a little more than just attend too – a good deal of them actually finished with honours.

    Show veteran Al Jean graduated cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in mathematics. J. Stewart Burns graduated magna cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in mathematics, submitting a senior thesis titled “The Structure of Group Algebra”, before receiving his master’s from UC Berkeley. Futurama co-developer David X. Cohen graduated magna cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in physics before also receiving a master’s degree in computer science from UC Berkeley.

    Jeff Westbrook majored in physics and history of science, eventually earning a PhD in computer science from Princeton University, where he submitted a doctoral thesis titled “Algorithms & Data Structures for Dynamic Graph Algorithms; later serving as an Associate Professor for Yale University’s Department of Computer Science.

    Ken Keeler graduated summa cum laude in applied mathematics, only to double down with a PhD in the same field after publishing his doctoral thesis titled “Map Representations & Optimal Encoding For Image Segmentation” (also see: the Futurama theorem). Then there’s Matt Warburton, who completed his bachelor’s in cognitive neuroscience at the crimson establishment of higher learning.

    Now keep in mind: these Lisa Simpson-tier overachievers are just the ones who attended Harvard. Bill Odenkirk, for example, earned a PhD in inorganic chemistry from the University of Chicago (non-Ivy League but impressive nonetheless). Hell, even longtime music composer Alf Clausen was originally studying Mechanical Engineering with a minor in math at North Dakota State University before surrendering to the arts.

    With an intellectual pedigree of this calibre, it’s almost impossible not to predict the future. What other outcome could you honestly expect from rounding up some of America’s best + brightest, and throwing them into a single room to keep their finger on the pulse scrutinize the current landscape for satirical purposes? Given sufficient time – and considering the recurring motifs in this rather circular modern culture of ours, i.e. Donald Trump threatening to run for US president, Richard Branson threatening to breach space – they’re bound to anticipate the curve.

    Beats me.

    This is said to be from 1999!



    What are the odds on that?

    Edit: If it looks too good to be true, then it probably is.

    A Forgotten Sci-Fi Novel Predicts Trump’s Greenland Fixation
    By Aaron Rosenberg
    Novelist Joseph Conrad’s singular foray into sci-fi uncannily anticipates an unsettled world order in which Greenland, placed under the control of a clownish minor aristocrat, represents the new imperialist frontier.
    https://jacobin.com/2025/06/trump-gr...vEz6Gn65bbRrig

    Unpredictability was the most predictable thing about the first few months of Trump 2.0. Having long understood the political utility of chaos, it’s no surprise that his most coherent strategy was to “flood the zone with ****,” an approach suggested by his sometimes advisor Steve Bannon.

    But who could have imagined he would become so obsessed with annexing Greenland? That he would, in a bizarre show of intent, send the vice president and second lady to assert America’s manifest sovereignty? Who could have foreseen that Donald Trump would empower the richest person in the world, Elon Musk, to dismantle the federal government via a piratical anti-department operating under the acronym of a memecoin? This sounds like science fiction. This sounds like conspiracy theory.

    This also sounds like the plot of The Inheritors, an obscure novel coauthored by Joseph Conrad and Ford Madox Ford in 1901. The Inheritors envisions a scenario in which the annexation of Greenland triggers the collapse of the world’s established political order. But this incredible premise is not the strangest part of the story: all of this is being manipulated by a group of secret agents from the fourth dimension.

    This is not the kind of fare we’d expect from Conrad or Ford, famous authors synonymous with the high-brow styles of modernism and impressionism. When they wrote The Inheritors, though, this canonicity was still to come. Conrad was broke and Ford was relatively unknown, and both craved the commercial success of writers like H. G. Wells. The Inheritors, their first of three collaborations, was an attempt to capitalize on the new popularity of science fiction, a genre to which neither ever returned.

    The Inheritors is hardly read now, even by literary scholars. If mentioned, it’s usually described as an unsuccessful experiment, notable perhaps for containing unbaked ingredients reused in Heart of Darkness, The Secret Agent, and The Good Soldier. But this strange book is coming into its own; it speaks to the present in unsettling ways.

    Published in the year of Queen Victoria’s death, The Inheritors shows us an unstable, uncertain world. National powers are fragile — scrambling for control over rare minerals and strategic resources, haunted by the horrors of corporate colonialism. Traditional social systems are being disrupted by technologies that promise a more efficient — perhaps freer, perhaps more violent — future. The novel sits anxiously on a point of historical inflection.

    This helps to explain the motives and methods of Conrad and Ford’s time travelers — “the Dimensionists” — a secret cabal sent from the future to destroy the present. Their plan doesn’t involve anything obviously futuristic — no sophisticated weapons or superpowers. Instead, the Dimensionists rely on a different advantage: their own heartless rationalism. Their machinic future society is, we learn, “free from any ethical tradition; callous to pain, weakness, suffering and death” (sound familiar?), traits that equip them to infiltrate circles of power and entrap eminent public figures in noble-sounding schemes that lead to scandalous disasters.

    Greenland becomes the staging ground for their conspiracy. We meet the Duc de Mersch, a minor aristocrat and “foreign financier,” a “philanthropist on megalomaniac lines,” who has been granted control of the territory “for some international reason.” The Duc, clearly modeled on King Leopold II of Belgium (Conrad was working on The Inheritors while writing Heart of Darkness), uses Leopold’s virtuous language of “progress, improvement, civilisation” to sell his “System for the Regeneration of the Arctic Regions.”

    Meanwhile the British government invests heavily, providing financial backing and security guarantees. Predictably, this gigantic project is exposed as a fraud — a scheme to maximize profits by expunging Greenland’s resources and violently exploiting its indigenous people. The Greenland scandal precipitates a financial crash and political crisis that sweeps the Dimensionists (who were behind it all) into power.

    These historical anxieties look a lot like our own. In The Inheritors, it’s easy to read Greenland as a thinly veiled substitute for the Congo. But at the turn of the twentieth century, it too was a frontier of the colonial imagination — routinely described in Western newspaper reports about the race to the North Pole.

    Today, Greenland is being reimagined as a colonial frontier of a different sort, and a people who seem finally to be on the brink of independence are being threatened with reannexation. On social media and in the press, Trump asserts the existential need to “get Greenland,” as he puts it, to ensure US national security, and, more broadly, to safeguard “the freedom of the world.” One suspects that his motives, as with those of Leopold II and his fictional counterpart De Mersch, might have more to do with rare earth minerals and estimates that “13% of the world’s undiscovered oil reserves and 30% of its undiscovered gas lies under the Arctic.”

    Access to those reserves, and to the strategic shipping lanes now opening in the Arctic, depends directly on the melting of Greenland’s immense ice sheet, which currently covers about 75 percent of the island, but which scientists predict could collapse entirely by 2050. Scientists also believe that this collapse would almost certainly shut down the Gulf Stream, the transatlantic ocean current that has been a keystone in stabilizing the planet’s climate for the last 12,000 years — since the beginning of the Holocene.

    In other words, the extraction and burning of Greenland’s fossil fuels, made accessible by global warming, would contribute directly to the breach of a climate tipping point, beyond which it is difficult to model or predict the planetary consequences.

    Perhaps The Inheritors, with its time-traveling accelerationists and byzantine Greenlandic plot, reads most like conspiracy theory, a genre we’re all too familiar with today. Questions like, “Who’s really behind this?” and “What do they actually want?” have gone mainstream. Some pundits have speculated that Trump represents a return to a Great Man theory of history and the Great Power geopolitics of the nineteenth century; others say that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)’s infiltration of the US government’s federal data systems is the first step in a plot to replace “the human workforce with machines.”

    It is whispered on Reddit that Trump is a Russian asset. On YouTube, you can watch videos about Peter Thiel’s plans to create technofascist sovereign states. You can hear a podcast about billionaires who want to live forever as digitized brains in the cloud, about their plans to hasten the AI singularity, or about the spaceships they are developing for the day when they can escape the uninhabitable earth. Maybe there are Dimensionists among us. But maybe it’s just science fiction.
