Here's something interesting enough today to make another blog-post here on my blog.
I discovered this only a few minutes ago
I was reading about a new video that Netflix is working on for future debut
It is based on a novel from year 1956 by Philip K. Dick.
Netflix is titling their version as "The Future Is Ours". Don't know the premiere date.
Reading the summary of the book, it gave me a new idea
The main plot is about relativism
If you cannot grasp why that is relevant to my work then you are not really going to learn anything here, perhaps that's true even if you can grasp the concept of relativism
See, the protagonist can see events in the future but only up to a certain point
This would explain a lot to me if something like that is associated with the stuff I discover here in the real world

The World Jones Made
From Wikipedia
The World Jones Made is a 1956 science fiction novel by American writer Philip K. Dick, examining notions of precognition, humanity, and politics. It was first published by Ace Books as one half of Ace Double D-150, bound dos-à-dos with Agent of the Unknown by Margaret St. Clair.The story takes place after a nuclear war in which society is dominated by relativism, which rejects absolute truths and preaches tolerance as the highest principle. The mutant Floyd Jones, who can see into the future, plans to overthrow the system and colonise space. The story ends with the defeat of Jones, whose plans fail despite his ability to see the future due to the immutability of fate.
Doug Cussick, then in charge of enforcing relativism, meets fortune teller Floyd Jones at a fair. Jones advertises that he can predict the fate of mankind one year into the future.
Doug Cussick reports the event to his superior, Security Director Pearson. Cussick's report that Jones apparently knew high-level information about the true nature of the Drifters shocks Pearson. If Jones really is a pre-cog, he is not violating relativism by telling the truth about future events.
Jones makes it clear that the things he is experiencing are in the past for him and cannot be changed.
Pearson is forced to realise that Jones' precognitive abilities make it impossible to defeat him.
