If you were in the future, what would you tell people from the past?

Now a serious question and a call for moral imagination, etc. this started as a joke, what should the folks in the first 2013 timezone advise people still in Dec 31st?

tynamite's avatar The Illuminati is real and they've taken over.

Now I've got their attention, I'll bring up all sorts of "predictions" that turn out to be true. Kim Kardashian will dump Kris Humphries and Kanye West on this date. Bin Laden will be dead on this date. The 10'o clock news will say this on this date. Next week's lottery winning numbers are.

I'll become mega rich and tell the rich and powerful what to do.

I will then...


  • Get all this fake dance music out the charts. Pitbull and David Guetta will be done, as I'll tell record execs that it doesn't sell.
  • Bring world peace by telling religious leaders that certain things are not the God's way of doing things and solve world hunger.
  • Become a multi millionaire
  • Do other things that I like and are fun.



But what will happen is that there will be a situation where I'll be kidnapped by some family who loves me, or someone who is sad who needs me to cheer them up. If the MI5 get involved, I'll have to leave the country to one that isn't swayed by the US, such as Russia or Eucador.

Actually I'll move to one of those countries first, before I execute my plans, so I don't get assassinated. Have you ever watched Heroes?

What's an assertion, and what should I type in?

Compesh is a question and answer (and debate) website, so before you make a debate, you better learn what an assertion is. I suppose you already know what a question is, and that you've typed it in the box. ;)

An assertion, is basically a statement you can make, that is either true or false.

Richer people have better health.

The question for that would be, Do richer people have better health?

And don't forget to make your assertion, match your question.
