    Default The future is postponed again

    The future is postponed again. Initially the prospect would have officially kicked off today, but this proved not feasible chronologically. The project is struggling for some time with delays.

    Organizer Koen Stalwijk: "finishing the past took longer than expected. At this moment we are working on the present. When that is done, we can begin. "

    Many people are disappointed about the postponement. Stalwijk reassures time users with confidence: "I expect the future actually any time soon now. It is about time. "

    It's a wordplay.

    Kinda philosophical, whut?

    It's like when someone asks you what time it is.

    The only correct answer that is universal, is 'slightly after now'.

    Yep!

    It's going to happen soon... an ad infinitam of never happening!

    Like the carrot on a stick to keep that donkey moving... the "cause" of motion always remains in the future...

    Well actually, the future has been and gone - you are all living in the past.

    You are wrong, araucaria. All the predicted events happened,
    and everyone died all at the same time,
    and only a few were informed that they were already dead.
    The great majority are imagining that the big wipe-out still lies ahead.
    But what a relief it was when I realized that I had died,
    and didn't have to worry no more about dying.

    Now the only job I have to do is tell people they are already dead.
    How 'bout that then?

    I noticed soon after 2000 that I could do things that only spirit can do...
    you know, mind stuff?

    Then we are both wrong: 'living' in the past (I should have used quotes) as in PK Dick's Ubik, yes.

    Channelling your Dad? I just quoted the first comment Maybe you should check it out, he may have something else to tell you?
