Time stamp: 6.22 “…actually the thing that I worry about most is epidemic disease.” Mr Crichton called it in 1999, of what may happen. And it happened in 2020. Rest in peace Michael Crichton. You are always remembered.

My favorite author. He was absolutely BRILLIANT. He made me realize how science fiction often becomes science NON-fiction, and how certain apsects of science and technology are best left to ponder and not bring to reality.

You are wrong. When you graduate from medical school you receive an M.D. degree, which Dr. Crichton had and was given from one of the top rated medical schools. He did not practice medicine, but he could have. However, there is a time limit wherein he had to be apply for certification, which he never did. He choose not to be called doctor, but that doesn't change the fact that he was one. I'm a doctor. I assure you, so was he.

terrible comment.

He was prophetic! Notice how he sights epidemic disease as his biggest worry about the future. Twenty years later it has happened as he said it would. The 2019 pandemic was like his Andromeda Strain. I wish he were alive today to comment on this plague and calm everyone down with his sanity.

Hollywood has lost it's creative zeal, afraid to take risks. Movies are a dying art. I think virtual reality will replace them. In the meantime, personal video creating and sharing will continue to proliferate as an art and be more accessible and of interest to average adults and kids.The visual arts are going back into the hands of the people, not the movie moguls.

I've got as big a soft spot for Crichton as the next guy. He introduced me to adult writing in my preteen years. However, 0:42 was a big miss. And movies dying out? Certainly not literally, and I think there are plenty of smaller budget films still being made. Obviously the guy was quite prescient in a number of ways but omniscient he was not.

@cyclotane I'm a big fan of his work as well, but he's dead wrong on the "paper will remain" issue. Digital book sales have just begun to outpace paper. Also, his take on movies is wrong (so far) about big Hollywood movies. No surprise though, as the man said so many times, "No one can predict the future". Fun stuff nonetheless.

@JETZcorp actually thats true, religion is still very high in percentage, but hopefully slowly across more generations and generations human can reach a more secular society. i think its the fact that children are brought up indoctrinate is a very hard thing to break out of. as long as parents dont force their religion i can see this transitioning happening sometime in the future!
@JETZcorp14 жыл бұрын
@cyclotane That's something to hope for, but unfortunately at least in the United States it would appear as though the advancement of science has made very little impact on religiosity as a whole. The fact that the country is NOT at an all-time low in terms of religiousness as a percentage, bears this out. However, I would say that perhaps on the whole people are taking it a lot less seriously as the more ridiculous bits get exposed in their ridiculousness, and that will probably continue.

I don't trust global warming deniers as sages. You can't ignore the physical world in the human predicament. His kind treats nature as an externality that can be endlessly manipulated without consequence. But the human economy is a child of nature, not its parent. Money-worshipers have that backwards. I think the best thing he did was "The Andromeda Strain," which I liked as a movie.
