Slipstream Time Hacking: How to Cheat Time, Live More, And Enhance Happiness

by Benjamin P. Hardy

By doing this, we can extract vital information from our future-selves. However, the vision we can currently conceive of our own 80th birthday is based on our current measure of success. Our current measure of success is based on our current trajectory. But if we could obtain useful information from our 80 year old self that would allow us to accomplish the same amount by age 30, we would have 50 extra years of life. Thus, our 80 year old selves’ past and future would change. With our new information, we create a new future that goes well beyond our previous measure of success; we live decades beyond our old perceived 80th birthday. With a new future self in place, we can reinitiate the process, consulting with our 80 year old self and using the information to alter our future again and again. Thus, the cycle of time looping can propel us further and further into our own theoretical future. By so doing, we continuously re-write the future. This process allows us to continually expand our future possibilities—our vision.
