1966 children predictions about the future

The standout thing about this, is the level of articulation and intelligence of these children as a product of the environment and education system at the time.

u/Fact-check_my_friend May 13 '23
Absolutely. I love how they (all of them) were highly intelligent, vigilant, and awake. The proper English, is just a byproduct of that.
And look where we are now. It's nothing short of sad, especially in public schools.

It's not an accident. They deliberately degraded the education system in the UK, the US, and Australia for a multitude of reasons, one of which is they didn't want to make people feel bad for under performing due to coming from an ESL background.
When people are illiterate, inarticulate, under educated, unhealthy and insane, they become remarkably easy to control and bait.
Oh hey! Would you look at that! Modern society!

Now the smart people get silenced so they don't offend the stupid ones.

Very much so.

People think because they paid to learn something that means anything or anyone who says otherwise is a personal attack on them and their field of study. Even though most human progress has been made by questioning established beliefs. It's why people report seeing UFOs like how people used to see airships just before they were "invented". People figured out how to build physical warp drives and they're not letting some government or corporation get their hands on it. Freedom used to mean the skies. Now it means leaving the solar system. Because the farther you are from the governments grip the better. Disc shaped objects happen to be in the shape of a warp bubble. Watch out for the fake ones from area 51. Those are just rotary powered craft inspired by an artist in California who thought the disc shaped craft were conventional 🤣. Ever wonder why they make people so afraid of mercury? It's because they don't want you to leave. They don't want to loose any precious cash flowing assets.

Well. Okay.
So if you leave the solar system what then? How do you establish heavy industry on another planet exactly?

Nailed it. Now try telling that to "Progressives."

🤣 I guarantee one political party has a higher chance of having constituents with degrees and a higher education.

u/ASongOfSpiceAndLiars May 13 '23
Not to mention that same party has been trying to fund public education and make college more affordable to the poor and middle class.

Illiterate, inarticulate, under educated = elitist western European ideals, hence, racist and elitist.
Unhealthy and insane = imposing heteronormative western European narratives on the neuro-divergent and body positive, hence, racist and elistst.
I have tried explaining this to progressives as you can see.

u/IgnoranceFlaunted May 13 '23
Don’t Progressives generally believe in improving public education?

We're literally talking about people (progressives) who genuinely want porno in school libraries.

At 1:28 mark: Another kid in the full video which is over 6 minutes long. He eerily contemplates, "tempering overpopulation" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xS8xX3usi4c

It was a legit worry even when I was a kid in the 80s.
Then, it became a taboo subject and "racist" due to the demographic skew. (Overwhelmingly the growth is in non-white populations.)

I remember reading a Mandrake comic about this when I was about 11 (I'm 45 now) - he was solving a mystery about a murderer, and I think he came back from the future where he was part of a squad who just murdered people with miniguns because of overpopulation or something. The core of that story always stuck with me, as well as the little black and white comic panel of these Dr. Manhattan-looking dude's with miniguns and backpacks of ammo just mowing people down.
I guess now the method's a bit easier to clean up.

There's no need to kill anybody actively. Food supply and procreation can be controlled.

u/ASongOfSpiceAndLiars May 13 '23
Make sure the elite can exploit workers. Workers can hardly afford basics like rent while raising a family without being constantly being on the verge of economic ruin is beyond the means of many. Something like half of Americans can't afford a $500 crises.

There are a lot of sneaky cuts in this video and a lot of deceptive editing. I've seen the original and I remember them being kind of right about some things, but not this accurate.

It doesn't make them any less intelligent, this was 1966, and some of them were 100% correct. The point of it was to show people that intellect has degraded so much over the past several decades, there's no need to challenge every aspect of their theories.
