Back to the future day!! I’m sure many enthusiasts are more giddy about today than I will be this Sunday for the Manchester Derby, and I am already massively giddy!
If we could go back to today in thirty years, what and why would we go back and change? Amend decisions we had taken? Voice opinions we had had? Hold that thought we had said out loud? If only we had hindsight! And a time machine! Yet thank god, physics does not allow us to do that, because there are about 5%* of greedy, selfish, manipulative arseholes in every country who would all abuse the device to give themselves fame, power and money.
(*that statistic was made up on the spot, but roughly based on brief conversations had with many different people each and every day)
But us guys….the 95%…..the bloody nice people of the world I have the absolute pleasure of meeting everyday….wouldn’t the rest of us want to change things to enable a much fairer and just world….where people from every background has access to water, medical care and a welfare system for genuine times in need? Forget skin colour, ideal religion, family traditions, work ethic, moral beliefs……just water, medicine, and care, especially for the young and elderly. Can we all not stop life for one day and use the one thing that has taken our species this far….our fucking intellect. Can’t we combine to create a working system that allows this? Doesn’t each and every nation on this planet deserve the opportunity to live? To become the next doctor, next scientist, next revolutionist? Poor Arron Swartz was only trying to give educational material to the people, regardless of opportunity. A book. We need to push hard and educate harder and make use of this opportunity we have. (Reading this alone means you have privilege.)
We all take opportunity for granted, so it is very hard to see the people in REAL need, not us with our broken phone screens and well worn nikes. We can change. We are changing. Change….it is there, just beyond our reach, not beyond our sight. What a lyric Fat Freddie! Our future is here….now…we are back to the future!
Big love as always!
