[The Minus World]

I read through some of the posts on johntitor.com a couple of weeks ago, and I'm in agreement with most of the DUers who have posted in response to this thread. The idea of Titor, a time traveler sent on a mission to obtain obsolete computer hardware, having the will to risk exposure in order to post some casual observations about the bleak future of mankind, is rather farfetched. Whether it is a hoax or not is yet to be discovered, but it's painfully apparent upon reading his posts that Titor is an extremely intelligent individual, and a logically sound thinker.

Maybe "John Titor" is nothing more than the creation of a bored student with an overactive imagination; maybe the result of a successful sociology or psychology experiment, turned into urban legend through word of mouth about its odd plausability. Who knows? Regardless, though, it's still worth a read - even for the most skeptical among us.
