Who the fuck is John Titor?
The only guy who could plausibly be the real thing that I know of.
I personally suspect the past does not exist in a real sense, so you probably cannot travel there (since only the present moment actually exists). I might be wrong, though.
But Titor's story was strangely self-consistent and bullet-proof from any obvious contradictions. People that say he was necessarily full of shit are themselves usually just full of shit. They simply do not believe in something, but they don't have any good arguments against him.
On the other hand, he didn't offer any good evidence to necessarily believe him either.
But what he described was strangely prophetic. In his story, his timeline would evolve very different (after all, there was no John Titor in his past messing with it). But a lot of the stuff we saw recently is a kind of shadow of what he warned us about. I think, bare minimum, he had a pulse on where this was going, what set of people were dangerous (i.e. deep state, Clintons, etc), and even social developments. For instance, he was talking about how people didn't watch television the way we do. They just watch shows online through a video streaming service and most shows are independently made. He was basically describing YouTube in 2000-ish. I would definitely like to spend some time drinking with that guy to pick his brain on what he sees coming down the pike from where we are now, eighteen years later.
When you came in here, you *almost* had his style, but you had no idea how to follow through with the deeper information. But that opening was very Titor-like, and that got you immediately attention.
