The last few months, I often come across some piece of wisdom by Michio Kaku, an American theoretical physicist turned futurologist. The newspapers whose online editions I visit seem to love him, too. Now he is talking about eternal life, and now about some revolutionary technology that will transform the world by the end of this century. As for me, I do not believe in the future he is fantasizing about. None of it. Instead, I believe in the return to the past, all the way to hunting and gathering. In my mind, our future is as predictable as our knowledge of history and prehistory permits. Whence the beauty of posthistory, after all. In other words, I am an anti-futurologist. Literally. And make that squared. Pace Michio Kaku.
