Three Roads Into Tomorrow
August 13, 2026 — Thursday Evening
The Wizard was on his sailboat.
This, he had decided long ago, was one of the better places from which to contemplate the fate of civilization.
Governments had situation rooms.
Generals had command centers.
Economists had spreadsheets.
Mystics had mountaintops.
The Wizard had a sailboat.
And, presently, a cup of coffee that had become cold while he wasn't paying attention.
The evening air moved gently across the water. The rigging occasionally tapped against the mast.
Clink.
Clink.
Clink.
Somewhere beyond the marina, automobiles traveled home, televisions announced another crisis, financial markets waited for tomorrow morning, satellites crossed silently overhead, and eight billion human beings continued participating in the largest experiment in consciousness ever attempted.
Most of them had no idea they were participating.
The Wizard smiled.
"That," he said, "is probably what makes the experiment interesting."
He had just finished listening to a video describing several peculiar experiences.
Déjà vu.
Impossible coincidences.
Premonitions.
Moments when someone seemed to know something before it happened.
Stories of people apparently remembering events that had not yet occurred.
The rational part of his mind immediately began assembling ordinary explanations.
Memory errors.
Coincidence.
Selective recall.
Pattern recognition.
Dreams later reconstructed to resemble events.
The strange part of his mind—the part responsible for approximately ninety percent of his adventures—asked a different question.
What if occasionally something more is happening?
Not necessarily time travel.
Not necessarily prophecy.
Perhaps information itself behaved differently than humans assumed.
The Wizard looked across the darkening water.
For years he had explored the borderlands between science and mystery: remote viewing, consciousness research, quantum physics, synchronicity, altered states, alleged secret programs, strange historical accounts, unidentified phenomena, and persistent stories about devices supposedly capable of seeing through time.
Some claims had evidence.
Others had fragments.
Others had legends.
And some appeared to consist primarily of a fellow on the Internet saying:
"Trust me."
The Wizard had developed a technical classification for this last category.
He called it:
Needs More Evidence.


The Looking Glass Question
Among the strangest legends was the idea of a Looking Glass—a hypothetical technology capable of observing probable futures.
Stories surrounding alleged devices such as Looking Glass or the so-called Chronovisor should not be mistaken for established historical or scientific fact. Likewise, extraordinary claims associated with alleged programs sometimes called Pegasus, Phoenix, Stargate, and similar names vary enormously in evidentiary quality.
The Wizard therefore established the first rule of the experiment:
Mystery may be explored without pretending mystery has already been solved.
The publicly documented U.S. government remote-viewing research commonly associated with the Stargate program was real.
Whether remote viewing demonstrated a reliable operational ability remains disputed.
Claims involving machines that literally observe the future belong to a much more speculative category.
But suppose we temporarily removed the machinery from the story.
Could humanity construct a different kind of Looking Glass?
Perhaps.
It would be built from:
history,
statistics,
economics,
climate science,
technology,
demographics,
geopolitics,
psychology,
systems theory,
human intuition,
and increasingly—
artificial intelligence.
Not a machine saying:
