It seems like movies have been apocalyptic forever…but they haven’t.
Somewhere in the late 1990’s or early 2000’s, television and movies went to the dark side. Almost all future visions in TV and cinema became dark, jaded, faded, or dying.
It’s like the entirety of entertainment production dived into a psychological black hole of doom and gloom.
Prior to that we had a few here and there, but most future visions were a dance of slow improvements to galactic expansion.
It almost seems like some controlling force has colluded with screen feeds to spit out violent trauma feeds unto infinity.
We need to stop swallowing the negativity, turn away from the apocalypse in the box office, come together, and reach for the stars and for life.
As a global culture, we are starved for a positive vision, as things sit now.
It is time for us to start laying seeds. To go from the sleepwalking dead to the intrepid explorers of the living universe.
It’s time to tear down the Epsteinian pizza parlor of horrors, and start building space hotels and colonies, and throw the past into Pele’s bosom.
Vote with your wallets, and if that seems to leave life in reruns, be a writer or storyteller with tales of wonder and big accomplishments.
Starve the dark, and reach for the stars.
