Democrats are re-enacting Albus Huxley's "Brave New World". In this novel, the government controls all education, starting from birth. There are no parents. Kids are indoctrinated to the max. All information is controlled by the government. Humanity is censored, and humanity doesn't know it's being censored.

One of the duties of a science fiction author is to predict the future. Both scientifically and culturally. Huxley nailed it!

Orwell nailed it!

Orwell: My books are satire. Not instruction manuals. I'm trying to tell y'all how the world shouldn't be. It feels like the only people that studied my books are dictators.

Huxley and Orwell are famous for writing dystopian novels. Imagine if they had also wrote paradise novels. The contrast would be revealing. We need negative examples, as warnings to avoid, and we need positive examples, as hope to strive for.

Democrats see the Babylon Bee as a source of suggestions. Today's Bee article is tomorrow's reality.

Democrats are re-enacting Lord of the Flies.

In 1902, the world's dominant mathematician was Dr. David Hilbert. Hilbert published a futuristic paper, containing 23 unsolved problems that he felt were the most important unsolved problems to tackle. Problems that pointed the way to future progress. Turns out Hilbert nailed it. For the next century, most mathematical progress was guided by the Hilbert problems.

Actually, Hilbert's list of 23 unsolved problems originally contained 24 problems. The first person Hilbert showed it to was Chuck.

Suppose we were to construct a home-school science fiction class. What books should be assigned? What books are the most
prophetic? My nominations are:

Niven. "Ringworld". Alien engineers build a world from scratch
Niven. "Footfall". Aliens invade the Earth.
Niven. "Lucifer's hammer". An asteroid hits an ocean and a tidal wave detroys every city on the coast. Civiliztion collapses and scientists eme\
rge as rulers.
Asimov. "Foundation".
Asimov. "I Robot".
Huxley. "Brave New World". The government takes control of all education, starting from birth. All informtion is controlled by the government.
Zelazny. "Chronicles of Amber". Precursor to "The Matrix". Parallel worlds.
Golding: "Lord of the Flies".
Miller: "A Canticle for Liebowitz". Humanity after a nuclear war. Humanity tries its best to avert another nuclear war, and fails.
All Star Trek

Alex Jones was right!

Hannity nailed it!

Maddow's predictions proved false.

Your record of predictions matters. Who are the best predictors of the future? Who are the worst?

Gingrich: Elections have consequences.

Failed predictions have consequences. It's the boy who cried wolf. If you have a record of failed predictions, you are no longer worthy of attention.

A decade ago, The Onion predicted that America would sneak out of Afghanistan. Suddenly and without warning, without telling its allies.

The Onion nailed it!
