September 2021Back to school

 Now that everyone should have returned to full time education what will happen?

What I have found myself is that everything seams to be going backwards, yet if we stepped into a time machine all I can see is one of two things happening.


This is why I think that films about the future and infection became so popular over the last year.


Yet the one thing that I always think about is "The Time Machine "By H.G. Wells" and the words "it's all clear."

Although I have never read the book I did see both movies.

The Time Machine is a 2002 American science fiction film loosely adapted from the 1895 novel of the same name by H. G. Wells and the screenplay of the 1960 film of the same name by David Duncan.

This book talks about the end of the world due to man reaching to far to touch the stars.  Then in the future only two species of man left 


Eloi 

One that lives above in the sun and eats, drinks, plays all day.


Morlocks

One below that works, designs, plans and cares for those above.  Hides in the shadow and then when they need to feed on those above to survive.

They do this by using a noise that makes the Eloi to the onw basic thing that every thing thig will do, Flight or Fight.

So what the noises triggers is the flight instinct that makes the Elio hide under ground like that would have been taught to do centuries before in times of danger.

For centuries we have been taught this in may ways shapes and forms the Flight or Fight way of life and in some case we have been forced into doing one or another even if we do not wish to do so.


Flight or Flight.

The fight or flight response is a physiological response to a stimulus which our bodies consider dangerous or life-threatening. This response—also called the acute stress response—is familiar to most people as the intense feeling of anxiety, shaking, and fear that can occur when our bodies prepare for a possible emergency.


Although both genetical come from the same species homer apian they are nothing a like to to centuries of evolution and time.

So in many ways have become to separate species all together and bother dependant on each other and living a symbiotic relationship.

Symbiotic relationship 

Symbiosis is a function of nature that encourages the flourishing of all life on Earth, enabling each party to sustain its own life and continue the legacy of their species through a special form of interaction. Some symbiotic relationships are only really beneficial to one party, but generally symbiosis will be mutually beneficial.

In the movies

In both films the interpretation of the movie is different yet the story line is the same.  With a traveller from a different time coming teaching the Eloi that to live a different way of life that they must fight for it and want to learn to change from in way being children into adults and learning to take care of themselves.

"Not to be afraid of the dark, to change and adapted."

Yet in the more modern movie (2002)  the Elio appear to be more independent and know what it is going on and except their way of life and that none are likely to live very long.  They even appear to know basic literature, how to gown food, how to keep warm and stay safe at night.

He also never goes back in time. and resets up the ability to tech again with what is left of modern technology; called the Vox System.

In the 1960, they have talking rings, books that have turned to dust, food and clothing, no knowledge of fire and know that at night they must stay indoors and not go outside.

In the end he goes back in time and picks up three book to take with him to help build and change the future.

One should be asking themselves do we not already live this way?
