The future wasn't about knowing what
would happen to who, or when major events would occur. The details
were nothing. It wouldn't matter in a hundred years. For him it was
knowing about the fundamental forces of the universe. To make sense
of things in a larger framework, to get a glimpse of the
underpinnings of everything.
He was still worried that the future
would be a step backwards. Secure but not challenging, devoid of
variation and too laid back for progress to occur.
It was difficult to condition himself
to think outside the box. To question the unquestionable and
disregard the assumptions. He looked around for a bit to nibble on
mentally. What could be replaced? Changed? Where would he leave
himself clues?
His life was an open book to anyone who
wanted to look. Privacy seemed like a outdated concept, at least
when dealing with the future. Assuming there was anything left to
look into.
