I glanced at the history and noticed you also submitted this same article 3 years ago. That time it got no upvotes. Why did you decide to submit it again now?

I glanced at the history and noticed you also submitted this same article 3 years ago. That time it got no upvotes. Why did you decide to submit it again now? And any guesses as to why it "caught" this time?
- keiferski 5y agoHeh, that's funny. I didn't realize that I had submitted this before. Not sure why it took off this time; could just be random chance. I do think that Fisher's ideas are a bit more relevant post-COVID, though. To a lot of people, the future just seems like a slowly decaying, scary, unpredictable version of the present. > Why did you decide to submit it again now? I actually just launched a project that is attempting to "solve" the issue of contemporary society having no positive visions of the future: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30781126 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30781126 So I've been researching some different thinkers, like Fisher, that have talked about this idea.
