History Ends in Green


"I have fantasies of the future where I see- and don’t ask me how we get there- a world of many many fewer people, and people live basically as people lived 25 thousand years ago, basically naked. Except that everybody has a little thread like Brahmans have in India, a little thread that goes around your shoulder and around your waste, and you could get mabe a couple of thousand small beads on this thread. Well each one is essentially a menu, an interface into a piece of software which is hidden in hyperspace, and by just moving this thread around and touching these beads you navigate into mental dimensions.

I can image that the person of the future would look like a rainforest primitive but when they close their eyes there would be menus hanging in space, and they select and navigate and move through these things.

We are the generation of people who actually will take the reigns of the human dream in a way that it’s never been taken before."
