OT: Re Mars and a 'future yourself'
Remember 23andMe company...15 mil Americans gave their DNA to clear their ethnicity, find lost cousins, potentially mutated genes, etc, etc.
Now, 23andMe is in trouble:

A sombre thought occurred:
Current DNA sequencing techniques allow for easy sequencing of the donor's ENTIRE DNA (genome).
With that in hand, such genome can be stored as information (file) and that file could later be used to reproduce YOU, theoretically.
If someone has a drive to populate some planet (which one, I wonder?) with genetically variable humans, all would be needed is a slightly better DNA synthesis capabilities and a source of oocytes/eggs, from where the maternal DNA would have to be removed. A small zap of electricity, then a surrogate mom and YOU (biologically) could be reborn (of course, with no memories whatsoever).
I am not sure whether it is entirely bad or the very fact that you could be reborn like this, albeit purely theoretically, could be pleasing to someone.
TL;DR If you gave DNA to 23andme, then, purely theoretically, you could be reborn later on (according to the scheme above).

If you drop as much acid (70s and 80s) as I did you would know it is all recorded. And replayed with some variations.
I didn't, so not sure what exactly you are talking about...like you think you saw into the potential future or futures?
Steve Jobs took mushrooms in his twenties and he said that he saw himself achieving success and notoriety, but dying relatively young, then it happened.
There is the theory of "block universe" that says that EVERYTHING already happened, it's just being revealed as we are progressing in our own time-space.
it was not quite that more like age zero to the present was played quickly over and over again. future access was not available.
but say age 1 to 25 (last really strong trip) was played in a loop a dozen or so times.
so exhausted from this I laid down attempting to crash and sleep. At this time I had a reoccurring dream of a young woman making love with me. and a narrator voice suggesting that I should want this girl because she wanted to repeatly make love with me.
I was high as fuck and fairly confused as the person that was going downtown on me had pretty short hair and I thought the person looked a bit boyish. I could only see the back of the person’s head. in the vision dream acid trip
say time was 1982 well in 1987 I was married and my wife looked slightly boyish with a short haircut and I realized she was the person in the acid trip dream vision I had back in 1982.
So the loop that repeated from age 1 to 25 10 times then spun to a vision of my future wife.
So I kind of don’t worry much about a lot of shit 💩 since I know the universe can pretty much do whatever the fuck it wants to do.
back on topice
80k in a day would be cool
