Lets say ukiwa pilka pilka zako you encounter God and he asks you to choose between going back in time and watching a DVD of everything that has happened since the beginning of time today or another tape where you get to watch everything into the future . Kinda like time travel
Utachagua option gani ?
Option A you can forward uone everything from creation or big bang to kama stories za bible ni hekaya to building of Egyptian pyramids to the Mongol invasions .Perhaps you are curious about the second world war or the slave trade or the Bantu migration .
Option two nayo you get to see everything that will become of the human race and the world .How about you forward 200 into the future uone kama AI has taken over ? have we gone to the mars ? how about 5000 years into the future you see whether humans have become galactic traversers ? will Africa finally develop ? unafinya index and you see the continent vile iko whatever decade or century unachagua . How will the world and universe be one million years from now ? unabonyeza .World war 3 or 4 ? kila kitu iko .
Ningechagua past for one reason. Nikiangalia future I will see my own death, the deaths of loved ones, etc and it would ruin all the fun of not knowing the future. If you found out utakufa next week, you wouldn’t enjoy the few remaining days.
So, I would rather watch history and be entertained. Then I can live a happy life . Not knowing the future is a big psychological advantage.
Imagine finding out that you will die a slow and painful death. That would ruin all the fun in the remaining time…hata kama ni 50 years. Some information I would rather not know until its time.
I go with option 2. Human life will become challenging yes, but interesting. Imagine in future I got to meet aliens! I believe the universe holds surprises that will make Earth look like child play.
