Rick and Morty, the movie

Can I start this blog by talking about back to the future? I love that movie, the first one is my favorite although most people like the second one more. Although I feel that all three must be seen to understand the message of the film. I will proceed to spoil the movie for you because it is a classic and if you haven't seen it, I don't really understand what you are doing reading this blog instead of watching the damn movie and finally getting out of ignorance. In the final part of the third movie, Doc tells Marty that our future is not written and that we can change it as much as we want with the actions we take in the present, after literally the entire saga he was modifying the future by changing the past, Doc says something like the present is our opportunity to change the future, that is our greatest gift. 

When Marty decides not to race in a car after being called a chicken, he unintentionally and without knowing that he would get into an accident later and would not be able to play guitar again, changes his future. It's a nice message because we really can't know what will happen in the future and we don't have a time machine, so in the end it seems to be about acting as we think is best in the present moment. It is a great movie, I recommend it (I after having told the end of the saga) .

The future from the perspective of that film is one possibility in a million possibilities, but every individual action modifies and multiplies the possibilities. In that sense, if I had a time machine and I traveled to the future, the machine would show me, among all those million possibilities, the one that is most probable. But, probability is not the same as certainty. So the question between whether to choose to travel to the past or the future is, knowing the certainty of the past or the most probable future.

Traveling to the past would be a trip purely out of curiosity, of course there are still great mysteries that have been lost in history and that with a time machine we could solve them but if we take care not to influence any event and be completely invincible it could be very entertaining. On the other hand, traveling to the future would bring with it responsibilities for the present, or at least the constant search to change the future, perfect it and warn others and ourselves of fatalities.

Therefore, I would definitely choose the past, I would like to know the following eras:

 I would like to see the era in which life began to form.

I would like to see the first plants and mammals, in addition to meeting the dinosaurs. I would like to go to that time and observe the formation of the first cells.

  I would like to know primitive humans, I am interested in knowing what the first languages ​​were like, how they began to communicate, in a documentary about mushrooms that I saw, they said that the development of language in humans could be due to the consumption of hallucinogenic mushrooms that increased the level of neuronal connections.

Me in the 80s being goth.

I am convinced that my life would be
radically better if I had
gone to a The Doors concert.

I would meet all the interesting people from other times: Cleopatra, Leonardo Da Vinci (I would ask him if he is LGBT+ because I am 99% sure he is), Jesus Christ (if he existed), Oscar Wilde, A. Rimbaud, I would like knowing Roberspierre and then attend his execution. I would like to meet Victor Jara and sav him. I would go to at least one concert of all the bands that I like from another era. I would take piano lessons with Beethoven and Chopin, etc.

Let the times come back when
they cut off the heads of the rich,
no one respects the old traditions anymore. 

If I went to the past I would kill Pinochet, yes, if I had a time machine I would go to the past and kill Pinochet.

I have always wondered what Chile would be like if that event had never happened. Today it is difficult for me to understand how we have arrived at this ideosyncrasy without memory and in complete silence after such horrible events that have stained the history of our country. Today, 50 years later, there are people who continue to deny the facts. That during the dictatorship people were tortured, murdered and made to disappear. That during the dictatorship it was the same national military forces that committed these crimes. That there are documents that evidence the political and financial participation of the United States in the Coup. It has been shown that during the democratic government of the UP there was a boycott, which sought to generate financial destabilization and still, and with everything. The people were with the government of Salvador Allende and those who opposed it were rather a small and privileged group. 

This is not a political opinion, it is a concrete fact widely demonstrated, it bothers me when political groups transform facts into "political opinions", it is true that history is according to those who tell it, but I think this is a stupid generalization, because, the truth is that when we have evidence it is impossible to deny or, as they claim, "interpret or relativize the facts".

Well, when I start to think about what would have happened if the coup had never happened, I wonder if things would have happened anyway. The truth is that I think Chile would be a very different place. Unfortunately, going back in time is impossible, we cannot change the events that have already occurred, much less avoid their consequences.

I return to my initial reflection on this question of time, and with respect to the terrible events of our history, I believe that we can only overcome them, and when I refer to overcome them, I do not mean to pretend that they did not happen, but to build a better present and future from them. I believe that you can learn from everything, even from what is painful. I do not believe that you must necessarily experience something to obtain great lessons and understand things. Therefore, in the future, I would not like that moment in our history to be forgotten.

I do not want history to repeat itself, I do not believe that history repeats itself, I am more concerned that we can never become owners of our future and direct it towards more beautiful and better places, human beings live by predicting future events, for more than 30 years we know that the planet cannot sustain this system and what has been done? What is being done to avoid the obvious consequences of climate unconsciousness? nothing, nothing significant, the efforts have been to appear some ecology, to clean our hands of the issue, tomorrow history will condemn us for not having done enough, and not doing enough is the same as doing nothing .

It is useless to know the future, it is not even useful to alter the past if in the present we do not act accordingly to a life that is pleasant to us, for ourselves and for others. So even if I altered the entire past of humanity to thus change our present, it would be of no use if our path goes awry again. 

Sometimes I think about it, I think that if there were a higher entity that could observe everything, it does not really have influence on our actions, I do not believe that there really are higher forces that can order us to do or not do something, and I think that is better. You no longer have anyone to hold responsible for the misfortunes that happen to you. You create your own luck and your luck is sometimes also due to the set of characteristics of your environment, which form and transform you, I think this is like that, the world seems very logical to me in this way. I agree with Doc when he says that our future is not written, that what is called destiny is rather the confluence of all the effects of our individual actions. Therefore, let us be aware, we move in time, we are astute enough to suspect our future and reasonable enough not to forget our past.
