Today from Tomorrow's Perspective #1.
Often when I see something completely ridiculous, I think to myself, "What if this was the only thing people in the distant future had to judge the world of today by? What would they think of us?" Sometimes I take it further and wonder, "What if another alien species was judging the entire human race based on this single shred of evidence? As this just happened, I've been inspired to start a new segment on my Vox entitled "Today from Tomorrow's Perspective." (Or perhaps something snazzier than that when I'm feeling more creative.)
In these posts, I invite you to imagine what the society/species that would produce such a video/picture/etc. might be like. Then I ask that you remember: it's us. We made this crap. With our own bizarre hands. Feel free to leave a comment with your thoughts.
Sometimes the subjects of these posts may be serious and even depressing. Tonight, however, is not one of those times. Tell me: what would the society that produced this music video be like?
Edited to Add: This video was discovered upon my being rickrolled. I can't keep up with the Internet memes anymore. I used to be so cool, in an Internet nerd sort of way.
