Washington Post Article Says "Soylent Green" Got It Right

[Please Be Nice]

Interesting, but take this analysis with a bit of salt.

In 1973, 'Soylent Green' envisioned the world in 2022. It got a lot right.

The year is 2022. Our overpopulated planet is experiencing catastrophic climate change, megacorporations have excessive power over the government, and clean living is a luxury only the 1 percent can afford. It may read like a scan of the front-page headlines, but these predictions were laid out...

A broken clock is right twice a day or something...

It's a logical fallacy and maybe a bit of predictive programming.

"hey this is like that movie that said x will happen in y time. wow they must have predicted the future!"

Do we apply this kind of thinking to non-fiction? Is the weatherman on tv predicting the future too?

Having re-watched Wild Wild Planet 1965--it was pretty good with the predictions.

They predicted corporations becoming governments, tvs in every public place selling trite products, holographic simulations of people, lab-grown organs and limb transplants, women karate experts, and gender fluidity/transhumanism.

Well ahead films such 2001, Blade Runner and The Minority Report.
