PREDICTIVE PROGRAMMING: Part I

WHAT IS PREDICTIVE PROGRAMMING?

Depending on who you're asking, Predictive Programming is considered a "conspiracy theory" that suggests powerful entities, such as governments or elites, use fictional media like movies, books, and TV shows to psychologically condition the public to accept future events or societal changes.

The theory posits that by introducing these concepts in a fictional context, the public becomes more familiar and accepting of them, reducing potential resistance when they occur in real life.

Key points about predictive programming include:

Origins: The theory was first proposed by Alan Watts and popularized by figures like Alex Jones and David Icke.

Examples: Notable examples include the depiction of a ship similar to the Titanic in Morgan Robertson's novel "The Wreck of the Titan or Futility" (1898), and episodes of "The Simpsons" that seemingly predict future events like the 9/11 attacks.

Mechanism: The theory suggests that by embedding these future events in media, the public's subconscious is influenced, making them more likely to accept these events as natural or inevitable when they occur.

Criticisms: Critics argue that the theory is based on logical fallacies, lacks scientific rigor, and is often used to explain any coincidence or similarity between media and real events.

In the mainstream narrative Predictive Programming is not deemed a scientifically recognized theory.
Instead, it is generally considered a part of conspiracy culture.
