Nostradamus 0, Nostalgia 1
-
- People nowadays are imagining how the future looks like, exactly what the the past generations do. Explore the works below and answer the question.
-
-
What can we learn from such projects about how the present informs people’s visions of the future? Whom would you hire to make postcards to illustrate the world of 2124—or is it a job for ChatGPT? Would people today still be able to dream up such optimistic visions of the world of tomorrow, or do we live in a deeply pessimistic age?
- We can learn that people's imagination can go endless to think about reckless dreams.
- For me, I will make the postcards myself ^^
- I don't know what other people think, but I feel that the future is gonna be bright.
- Psychohistory, steampunk, cyberpunk, metaverse, rocket mail, flying car, hyperloop, supersonic transport, nuclear propulsion are what older generations think that we - should - have now.
psychohistory is predicting the future of a large group of people 
steampunk is mixing future details with ancient details

-
- There are few examples for a "living future" museum than examples for a "living history" museum. But - both of them - still exist.

-
Do they tell us more about the future or about the past? If you were designing such a museum today, what would it look like?
Because they are museums, of course they tell us more about the future and the past. If I'm designing a museum today, I'll design it to be "Living future" museum. Look forward to where you go, don't look backwards.
- Some people are inspired by nostalgia to create new things such as “Five Days, Four Nights, in Ancient Rhodias Rome”. Airplane restaurants recall people of the fame times of air travel.
Does marketing nostalgia in this way honor people’s memories—or distort them? Would it be okay for entire communities to present themselves as places from the past?
This depends on whether what people think and how they rate their memory. I think it would honor people's memory and for me, it's very okay to say I come from places from the past.
- Some communities present themselves as places from the past, like the Mennonites in Belize and a high school club in Brooklyn, the Amish, one of the branches of the European, that splitted out and tried to keep them just like the past. Though, it can be very hard.
To what extent should society—and private companies—accommodate those who want to reject modernity? If a community wants to teach their children history only up to a certain year, or with clear inaccuracies, should they have that right? Should tech companies produce phones with some features disabled for those who want to use them only in a limited way?
-
- I think we should only extent to not have any violence.
- I think we can disable the traditions if they want to, but without harming anyone.
- The Western felt good about how they recovered - and also developed - very fast after the World War 2. It still has its own problems, but later generations thought that the era was full of progress, stability, and teamwork.

- Governments sometimes encourage artists to recognize their national self.
Is there a dividing line between art and propaganda, or can a work be both at the same time?

- (This is too short so I copy + pasted all of the info here) "Writers often express a yearning for a simpler time."

- Writers sometimes look back at what they have left to understand what they have now.

-
- "When you take over someone else’s role, you are said to fill their shoes. And, when we lose someone, we are left with the question of what to do with the clothes they wore. "
Is it okay to draw conclusions from people about the clothes they wore? Does it depend on how free they were to choose their own clothes?
