John Titor
Wednesday, September 10, 2003 by Hus | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
For those who do not know who John Titor is, he claimed to be a time traveler from the year 2036. Sound rediculous? I thought so when I first read the story at yellowalien.com (jark from DA's blog site). He posted links to find out more about Mr. Titor, and it does sound very plausable. If he was a fake, then he is a damned genius. His posts were accurate throughout and he was very knowledgable about his job. What kinda scares me is that some of his predictions are kinda comin' true...I dunno if he really was a time traveler or not...you be the judge.

Travels back 36 years in time, and then spends all his time online.

Civil War? Sounds pretty far fetched but ya never know...Only a couple more years, I guess we'll see
Hus...I was looking for 'predictions' that are coming true...Which are you referring to?

Oh! I love this stuff. This story looks like a cross breed between the book "The man who folded himself" (David Gerrold, 1973) and the movie "12 Monkeys" by Terry Gilliam (1995). That movie used a different time model, though. By bringing it to the web it has a "War of the Worlds" feeling to it (although the radio show was much more spectacular).

K-Pax wasn't about a time traveller. It was about an alien from an advanced civilization visiting Earth. It was also based on a trilogy of novels of the same name.

If you consider the 'story' to be of a stranger visiting our world and trying to convince a group of people of his origins, then yes I suppose it is. Aside from that, it's completely different though. John Titor claimed to be here to retreive computer equipment and to spread a little knowledge about the events leading to World War III. Prot (the alien in K-Pax) claimed to be here to observe our planet and document the various things he saw.
Sorry to pick holes in your argument, but I can't bear loose threads when they're pertaining to subjects I know about. I just have to cut them off before they unravel...

John Titor wasn't rying to let us know anything infact he was doing just the opposite, not telling us anything, what he was doing here was visiting his parents, trying to prepare them for whatever, and d/ling copyrighted material to take back to the "future" with him.

Zodiaq, in the site I listed above, there is a section on the left-hand side marked 'John's Predictions', read through it to understand what I meant...

In the future there will be no such thing as time travel. If there was to be, we would now be up to our ears in time travellers.
