I Just Wasn't Made for These Times

I am a visionary. There are times when I am far ahead of the zeitgeist.
But, the rest of the world usually catches up with me and my futuristic vision of reality eventually. For example, in my reality, Arthur C. Clarke had already been dead for 3-5 years. The rest of the world, however, has only caught up with this fact in the last 24 hours. Another recent example: Michael Stipe revealed that he is gay. This has been true in my world for at least a decade.

And now, The Best of alpha charlie bravo presents a post in which I posit a premise that is basically the opposite of what I have stated above.
