Prophecy for 2150AD

It has been a long time since I wrote on this blog. Being the creator of the blog , there is  added pressure on me to contribute much more. I would like to give a pat on the back to Ajay and Aashish for keeping the blog lively.

I recently saw a documentary called “Zeitgeist”. (Just search it on youtube and do watch it! It will raise a lot of questions in your mind…I think some might have already seen it since it was released in 2003). I ended up with a lot of confusion in my mind after watching it.  

The documentary basically tries to debunk the false-truths regarding religion , politics and the economy which , the makers of the video allege were fed to the people since ancient times by certain vested powers to manipulate public opinion , so that the masses could be made to obey them like sheep and consequently those vested powers could rule the masses. The documentary starts with a scathing attack on Christianity , alleging that Christianity is a whole lot of bullshit created by the Romans to spread their so called Holy Roman empire. They provide a whole lot of facts to prove that Christianity was just a hackneyed copy of a similar religion existing in Egypt around the 2500BC. They also allege that almost all religions of the world were formed on similar concepts which can be related to astrology, zodiac signs and the constellations. They also tried to include Hinduism in the list by showing some facts about Lord Krishna. This is where I got suspicious about the veracity of their research behind the revelations. I was just laughing when they showed some facts stating Krishna’s birth around 600BC. Now, anyone with a good knowledge of Hindu scriptures would know that Krishna lived in the Dwapara Yuga. So he should have lived around 3100BC. You might feel I am defending Hinduism here. But I am always annoyed (which I certainly was while watching this part of the video ) when so called rationalists start questioning people’s faith , whatever be the religion they follow. Spirituality is completely in a different plane and should not be mixed with science and rationalism. Well some might not agree with me. But I am a firm believer in faith and religion. So I am always antagonistic to anyone questioning faith.

Well I have already digressed a lot. Now, let me quickly sum up the rest of the video before coming to what I actually wanted to write here. The second part of the video exposes the conspiracy behind the twin tower attacks, stating that it was actually carried out by the American Government !! Well , this shocking revelation certainly had substantial proof and I must acknowledge the meticulous research carried out by the makers of the documentary. It seems that all the world wars fought till now and those currently on ----- in Iraq and Afganistan are nothing but a farce to turn people’s emotions  against a common enemy – the so called “terrorist”.  Now the third part was more interesting to me. It was about the myth behind Banking. Being a management aspirant I knew about the basics of banking and I was always confounded by the deliberate tortuous setup of the fractional reserve system. God knows how the bankers invented such a system confounding logic and how they convinced the people to follow it! Well watch the video to know the truth.

After watching the documentary my mind was filled with conflicting thoughts. It was almost like my mind hallucinating and taking two forms (Cmon guys , those who watch tamil cinema , this scene should be familiar to you…….the typical situation of conundrum, when the hero’s “manasatchi(inner self)” and himself will be making a conversation….  )  one saying “Yes” and the other “No” . Then an interesting thought occurred to me as to how the future of the world would turn out to be. What if I make some predictions about the future and they turn out to be true like those of Nostradamus.

Well here goes my list of predictions for the year 2150 AD.

1. Let me start with the space and its exploration . By the year 2150 there will be no more space shuttles and rocket launches. They will not be needed as we would have built a “Space Elevator” by then. It should be a long stand–still structure built using carbon nanotubes which would end at the point where the earth’s gravity is no longer felt. So all payloads and humans can be sent to space like traveling in a cable car. Believe me, designs and proposals for this project are already going on at NASA.

2. Continuing with space , recently I read an article about the spacecraft Viking’s signal being interfered with a new form of signal, which is unknown to us. Could these signals be from alien machines?  This raises the most curious question of every human being. Do aliens exist? By the year 2150 I am sure we will make contact with atleast one alien planet. Even Stephen Hawking supported this claim saying that, its highly  improbable to claim that alien life is impossible considering the vastness of the unexplored universe. Or could I be proved wrong? Only time can tell. (I always wonder why UFOs are always spotted in America alone???) . The fact that these aliens with superior technology might colonize earth is yet another point to ponder..

3. The consortium of bankers have successfully imposed the most cruel form of slavery upon us ---“The Slavery of Debt”. Ever wonder why there is so much craze among youth to study at B-schools and get a job in an investment bank (including me…:-}) ?? Well banking is one place where you can plunder legally. In 2150 this slavery of debt will become more severe with bankers monitoring your movement with a micro-chip implanted in your body and sending mild electric shocks to you if you don’t pay the debt. 

Have you seen the movie “Fight Club” starring Brad Pitt and Edward Norton.? If you had, you would have noticed that the protagonist tries to blow up the buildings of all credit card companies. He feels that when the record of credit of all people are lost, then there is no rich man and no poor man. “All become equal”. Well by the year 2150 there could be a separate communist mafia operating to fulfill this idea.

4. There is a great possibility of a third world war. I’m damn sure this will happen. The third world war will be fought over “Water”. Yes ,the countries of the world would be fighting for the occupation of Antarctica—the only unexplored piece of land on earth and one that has all the fresh water locked up in its glaciers.

Will India’s defense improve by then so that we can have a substantial claim??

5. With increasing population, the demand for the gas of life – Oxygen will go up. The ecology will be so damaged by the humans that the earth will no longer be able to support its balance of atmosphere. So there should be a giant machine like a circular spacecraft suspended in the stratosphere that will generate Oxygen to the whole world and it will also maintain the balance of other gases in the atmosphere.

6. Energy already plays a vital role in our life. So the owners of energy reserves like nuclear materials or the organization which invents the fuel cells will control the economy of the world. So move over the software giants, steel barons and venture capitalists, it is the energy-behemoths who will rule the planet in 2150.

7. Talking about health and lifestyle , what will be the most life-threatening addiction in 2150?? Drugs, tobacco , alcohol?? No. The worst form of addiction ever --- to social networking sites (SNWs). I am sure people are going to be sent to rehab centers in 2150 either because they suffer from profile-o-mania(addiction to SNWs) or from  profil-o-phobia(fear of SNWs).

8. What about apocalyptic syndromes? We are already on the brink of one in 2012(from asteroid Niburu)… There will be many more such threats. But we will be so busy looking for threats from outer space that we will forget the fact that we have enriched and amassed so much nuclear material on our planet that only those will be enough to destroy the world 10 times over if triggered.

9. Now this one is far fetched, Maybe this could happen in 10,000AD. (because you know evolution takes a long long time). Our bodies are so much exposed to radio waves  and the radiation levels will only become enormous in the future that the human body (already being a good conductor) will evolve to become a radio transmitter . Maybe our two ears will become our transceivers. And we could communicate by ourselves!!

Well you would have noted that all my predictions have been pessimistic. Well that’s the way it is because we find the world is constantly degenerating. But I hope that these apocalyptic prognostications don’t come true…
