The Future Is Now: One of the most respected, senior and widely published professors of psychology, Daryl Bem of Cornell, has just published an articlethat suggests that people — ordinary people — can be altered by experiences they haven’t had yet. Time, he suggests, is leaking. The Future has slipped, unannounced, into the Present. And he thinks he can prove it.
Fascinating…
Personally, I’m of the opinion that time is a dimension we just can’t traverse, like how doodles on a paper can’t traverse the third dimension. It’s all there. Always. And I will always be the dorky nine year old who wants to organize a dodge ball team, and I will always be the body-hating sixteen year old who starved herself to lose fifty pounds, and I will always be the eighteen year old flush with new love, and I will always be the pregnant twenty-one year old who thought she was miscarrying, and I will always be the glowing mother with a newborn, and I hope I will also always be a very wise eighty year old watching the sunset with her eighty-one year old husband surrounded by love and adventure. We’re all going to live forever, in a manner of speaking, but we exist in a dimension where we can only perceive time linearly so we don’t know it.
Sorry, that was a total sentimental tangent there.
Can I mention how much I love that this experiment started with porn? And I’d also love to see it repeated a great many times, because I’m pretty skeptical of the results.
