Forever my favourite comic on tumblr.

Thinking about picking this up

The problem is that neither was right because both were building universes to represent not what they saw as the future, but allegories for the present set in the future.

And yes, there is a difference. Projection and prediction would be a warning. What they were making were observations.

To argue that one was “right” and one was “wrong” wholly misses the point of what both were saying about society and, on the whole, human observation.

Anti-modernism and cynicism like this blithely ignores the fact that people have always been a bit self-absorbed and flawed, and particularly uneducated. The idea that we are somehow dumber or less informed than we were fifty years ago requires you completely ignore history and how things really were, and instead create a fantasy world from the past in order to shape a more dire picture of the present to justify a negative attitude. 

It’s bullshit. Don’t swallow it.
