The Future's So Bright I Gotta Wear Shades



Listening to late night Talk Radio (KFBK), one chastened caller described how foolish he had been to doubt The National Solar Observatory (NSO) when they said that the 'asynchronous' nature of people guaranteed the beginning of a Great Depression in 2007....

Apparently the NSO had forecast that there would be four generations after the Big Change (also known as the beginning of the Baby Boom, in 1947), and that after three generations (60 years, given 20 years per generation) a Crash would occur, because the two working generations wouldn't be able to support the big non-working generation (the Baby Boom Generation), or the generation just being born.

I'm confused. When Dyer worked for NSO at Sacramento Peak, NM, in the early 80's, all they did there was observe the sun (using appropriate eyewear, of course). No one there was predicting the future, but they had the best shades.

Of course, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm the one who should be chastened. Maybe they were a lot smarter at NSO than I thought. None of this prophecy shows up on Google, which really shows just how smart they really have to be at NSO. The Talk Radio caller heard the NSO prophecy, but no one else, apparently.

I'm not worried about a Crash, but I am glad there are people in the NM mountains - optimists in shades - who might be able to explain Nostradamus' quatrains....
