We were so close gang 
A lot of time capsules are insanely optimistic. People in general have wild predictions about the future. Shit people today still think stuff like flying cars might work (lol, lmao).
Something I think about in terms of future hope (this is written in the context of computers and why they turned out awful):
"[...] part of it, maybe, is that lingering naiveté from the early days of computing, where we thought we could make utopia just by forgetting where we came from and leaving all the old world’s messiness behind. [...]
That said, we are probably too cynical now. It's almost considered childish to hope that maybe one day we might be basically decent, or that we might not live in a surveillance capitalism hellscape. Certainly it's harder to dream wonderful dreams in a world where the dominant hegemony is actively trying to suppress the idea that things could get even marginally better.
What abkut flying trains though? Can we have those?
No, flying is bourgeois decadence. Humble earth buoys your footsteps and you are not content with this?
i KNEW the fucking birds were our enemies! mao vindicated!
My time capsule contribution: All hail the metal sky tube 
I want trains that travel straight through the Earth's core
We have those. Well, China does lol
i'm cold
Dam that's some sad shit
The "those who do not know what war is" one is funny. I'm not convinced that a fully communist world will end war. If anything I am in fact quite convinced that leftists will fight other leftists just as hard or even harder for sometimes ridiculous reasons.
Outdoor cats struggle nuclear exchange.
For the sake of my own sanity I’m gonna say:

Oh no it’s real
