Exaggerated expressions enable human advancement….
Someone telling you that they could travel from the US to India in 21 hours would have been seen as huge exaggeration in the 1800s….
Star Trek season one got us introduced to flip phones…. it was an exaggerated form of communication at that time….
When Star Wars saw robots moving around, it seemed too far fetched to become true… An exaggeration of sorts….
Everything that we are now becoming so comfortable accepting and even expecting… Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality, IoT (Internet of Things), Drones, Machine Learning, Humanoids…. all are products of once exaggerated expressions….
And now we are seeing the colonization of the Moon and Mars coming together right in front of our eyes….
It takes a person to have an exaggerated thought… verbalize it… let the ridicule from others lay where it may… write it up… Illustrate it… to expand his exaggeration now into others’ imaginations… make a movie… take everyone through the visual spectrum of conceptualization, materialization, realization and impact…. and then let everyone see how it could all come together!!!
And finally when someone takes his exaggeration and brings it to life… what was once an exaggeration suddenly becomes normal….
Is that not how most awesome things that we see today have come into being???
Following on from that thought what else will we get to see in the years to come???
Mutated Humans??? Super Heroes??? Intelligent Apes???
Go ahead and exaggerate… Create great things… enable human advancement…. But be sure, that you at least part saw, that tomorrow before you speak about it… lest you end up just a fool that exaggerates!!!
