I like to while away the hours talking about high rise buildings that suddenly fall down into neat, condensed piles of dust. Will anyone care 100 years from now?
Yes. They will be awarded vast sums of money from our Department of Historical Revision to compile all existing videos and documentaries from the USGR (United States of the Global Republic) archives and create a pristine version of history that everyone involved can live with and move Toward a Better IntraGlobal world.
So, we need to help them find them all. It is for posterity.

Time: Use it or lose it. The older boys used to say that about your dick. I believed them and tried to keep it busy.

I recall a short story, don’t recall the title nor the author, about time. Seems that upon reaching the age of maturity and finished with formal education one was implanted with a chip that was encoded with your grubstake…1 year. Time had become the currency of the day to earn and purchase whatever you wanted or needed for seconds, minutes, hours, etc… One had to spend time and also earn time the old fashioned way. If you were not successful and your seconds ticked down to zero, your chip would cause a fatal stroke. That story has stayed with me for over 50 years. I’d love to reread it if anyone has knowledge of the author.
Excellent quote Admin, and so true.

Justin Timberlake starred in a movie like that a couple years ago, I think.
That would be a good clue…Thanks.
