“The present time, together with the past, shall be judged by a great jovialist.” — Nostradamus

Will it be wine and roses, or milk and honey?

Back when TVs and phones sprouted rotary dials and hearses grew tail fins, Marshall McLuhan observed: We look at the present through a rear-view mirror, march backwards into the future.
What kind of future are we backing into at present? For answers, a great jovialist consults a prophet of doom.

“For a long time, I have been making many predictions, far in advance of events since come to pass, naming the particular locality. I acknowledge all to have been accomplished through divine power and inspiration.”

— Nostradamus

“It’s never too late to have a happy childhood.” —Tom Robbins

So I ask this geezer, rocking beside me on the porch, “Hey Gramps, how do you want to feel when you grow up?” The geezer laughs so hard he rolls off his rocker.

The secret of genius is to carry the spirit of the child into old age, which means never losing your enthusiasm

“To myself I am only a child playing on the beach, while vast oceans of truth lie undiscovered before me.” ―Isaac Newton

Suppose all the bird baths, ornamental ponds, swimming holes, creeks, swamps, lakes, oceans―all the water on the planet including what’s left of the glaciers, even the condensing vapor in the clouds―suppose it was all slurped up into a gob and spit into space: would that leave the planet dry?
