  • JOHN TITOR: Soldier from the Future | Can this time traveler save us from destruction?
    This is our future. The United States of America endures a second civil war, killing millions. Immediately after that, a World War begins. Nuclear weapons are used. Billions are killed.
    The aftermath leaves the earth in ruins. Electric grids are down. Food becomes scarce. Disease is rampant. Society breaks down.
    Then, in 2038, all computers go offline. Civilization is set back several hundred years. The world enters a second dark age.
    Only by changing events in our past and present can we avoid this nightmare of a future.
    In 1998, in a small town in Florida, John Titor was born.
    In the year 2036, John, a temporal soldier would be sent back in time.
    His mission? Save the world.

    @sailingaeolus Před 3 měsíci +80

    Titor's prediction that mainstream news and media would be a thing of the past and individuals would produce the replacement content on the internet was mind-blowing at the time. While he did not mention any particular platform (like youtube), he certainly nailed it right on this point. And I recall back in the early 2000s how ridiculous it sounded that the big three (ABC, NBC, CBS) would be replaced by individual content over the internet. In fact, they are now referred to ABC, NBC and CBS as the "legacy media". That was unthinkable in 2001.

    • @momoanddudu
      @momoanddudu Před měsícem

      This is only half true, as
      1. A lot of individual content is processed from the big networks, e.g. people responding to the news.
      2. Individual content was being created in the nineties, e.g. by '97 I maintained a USENET FAQ and had a personal website. Telling people who dislike the government and big corps that individual content that was already being created for several years is going to take over is rather obvious.
      A sad trend over the last 30 years is that content has become more centralized. In the nineties, UseNet groups were distributed, e.g. UseNet and mailing lists. Then it became fashionable to host forums on websites, some of which WP on individual's website. Nowadays most forums are on social sites. This means the government has an easy time finding out who posted what, and have it removed - the big corps will not fight for individuals who use the platform for free.

It was very clear to me that after y2k didn't do anything everyone was going to get online. If nothing else, for the available reference material.
      They saw it coming too because we got so many more daytime talk shows than we had before. It was oprah, dr Phil or Kerri Lake. Now there's over 50 hosts for a variety of daytime "news." Maury and his ilk don't count. I mean the ppl who talk about current events and cluck cluck cluck all morning.

AJ's strength is telling the story and letting the viewers make up their own minds. Most channels on these topics are either complete believers or complete debunkers.

    Software engineer here. It’s not a huge worry about the 32bit time stamps. Some systems will move to 64 bit without a lot of disruption and some will swap their integer timestamps to save dates as date time objects. Y2K was a genuine problem, but people worked to fix it. The same will happen when it’s time for the 32 bit unix time stamp to max out.

    • @rscottwillson
      @rscottwillson Před 7 měsíci +11

      You’re exactly right. I actually wrote and sold software that fixed the Y2K problem on x86 PCs. Didn’t expand the use case because we did the same math and realized the bigger problem was 2038. Figured most of our tech infrastructure would be moved off the 2 byte integer by then.

      Nah, very very very unlikely. Way too many useless obese people and noodle-armed snowflakes. Also, the Democrats would obviously get blown out in about .2 seconds because of the massive difference in gun/ammo ownership and firearms training. Also, there’s no reason to have one. We have federalism, so as long as the feds don’t try to cram down one ideology too much on everyone, we’ll be fine. California, New York, and Chicago can remain shitholes, and Florida and Texas can remain bastions of freedom in an unfree world. I think Supreme Court decisions like the abolition of Roe v. Wade will be crucial to increasing the power of federalism. As long as Republicans don’t try to force their opinions on major issues on Democrats, and vice versa, then everyone can just move to different states based on policy preferences.
      The division may only increase, and we already certainly have a cold civil war of sorts, but there will never be a hot civil war. Modern citizens are too fat and too snowflakey to fight a war, obviously.

    Man, I remember reading about all this back in the day. When Patriot Act went in, I thought the civil war had come. I was a young lad at the time and this story was just so enthralling, but frightening. For as much as you want it to be true because its fun, you also want it to be false because its a nightmare.
    This is my first time hearing or reading about it since the mid 00s. Thanks for the crazy flashback.

    The anime Steins;gate did this story with its own spin verywell. It covered john titor, cern, world lines, and even included the ibm computer. They even icorporated that old story/myth of the man that appeared out of no where in new york in the 1800s, but was wearing 1900s attire.
    Dont trust cern is what is shown in the anime. But its just a story.
    I recommend anybody who is interested in the john titor time travel theory to check it out. It is very well made. Even covers a other john titor whos time machine malfunctioned causing her to lose her memory of the mission she was originally sent for.

    The reason Y2K was a nonevent was that a lot of people worked very hard to make sure it was a nonevent. Even then there were problems, such as a nuclear power plant scram, a bunch of people’s credit cards being charged massive amounts of interest, and an entire English medical district being told their infants had Down’s syndrome. You just never heard about it because the world didn’t fall apart.

      Both my parents spent a lot of overtime hours future-proofing the computers in the social departments they worked in against Y2K. It bothers me greatly that people will use the proof that listening to warnings and taking action to mitigate damage works as proof that you shouldn't listen to warnings or take action because people make a big deal out of non-issues.
      Humanity's capable of a lot of good if it works together - we eliminated small pox, we prevented Y2K - but millions of people today stick their heads in the sand and insist all warnings by experts are false and misleading because of 'money' - while they get their own news and opinions from radio and web shows that have a vested interest in keeping their attention and seeking access to their wallets.

    My favorite part was Titer saying he couldn't imagine living more than 100 miles from his mom. I'm a mom... My son lives 1500 miles away and I so agree with Titer! My first job was working with all the IBM and UNIVAC mainframes at a missile base in the early 70s and kept working in the computer fields so I could follow along quite well. I remember the art bell radio shows with Titer and others, fascinating and still is! The food warnings are real now but people like their bacon fed bacon and chicken fed chicken and yummy pesticides so I don't think that will change until it's too late. It's the easiest path to immediately change but, sigh, I'm not hopeful. For decades I made a living in high tech fields and now I can't tolerate the resulting societal chaos. Yikes.

    There are a lot of time travel stories where the hero travels back in time to prevent a terrible future. There's only one problem. As soon as you arrive in the past, you create and inhabit an alternate timeline. The original timeline still exists, but you vanished from it when you traveled to the past. The alternate timeline creation prevents paradoxes at the cost of being powerless to change the original timeline. Indeed, you can never inhabit the original timeline again.The terrible future never goes away.

      I'm pretty sure that's just the movie back to the future part 2. Time Travel happens based on the idea that reality loops back on itself. You can only travel forward, so you go so far into the future at such a fast rate (infinite) that you actually end up back in the past, To better explain it, imagine trying to walk to the edge of the earth, eventually you would come back because there is no edge or end it's a sphere, our timeline is a circle.

Whether or not anything that was written by John was true wasn't as relevant as being engaging. You felt like you were part of the process even if you were just an observer. I always pictured John Titor as a retired physics professor with local militia dreams. Although one by one predictions were debunked and physicists dismissed John's technical claims, it was still an enjoyable ride.
