Debunking the Predictive Programming Theory

It's the evening of december tenth twenty seventeen And Elon Musk is, well, where else on Twitter He announces that if his tunnel building operation, the Boring compompany, sells fifty thousand baseball hats, it will also start selling flamethrowers It starts as a joke. Be being the richest man in the world has its benefits. One of those is being able to turn a silly idea into reality quickly in january twenty eighteen Boring starts taking pre orders for flamethrowers Each one costs five hundred dollars video even surfaces of Elon trying out the expensive new toy. looks like an airoft gun that shoots a plume of fire He goes on to sell twenty thousand flamethrowers He also imagines another product he calls a snow thrower. This is how the Gardian describes it Another weapon out of the fantasy villains playbook which brings me back to the clip of Elon blasting a Flamethrower The first time I watch it feeleels familiar Almost like I'd seen it before. truth is, I had on the long running animated series, The Simpsons Back in nineteen ninety six, Homer Simpson takes a new job His new boss' name is Hank Scorpio He's also a tech billionaire who has a flamethrower the similarities between Hank Scorpio and Elon Musk there Both are boyish, often hilarious intentionally and unintentionally. Oh, and they both seem determined to take over the world It's not surprising that the Simpsons predicted the idea of Elon Musk years before most of us had ever heard of him becausecause in the eyes of many of its fans The show is a soothser We've all seen the headlines T ten ways the Simpsons predicted the future The fifteen most unexpected Simpsons predictions that came true thirty four predictions from the Simpsons that actually happened The further down Google you go, the bigger the number gets. The highest we could find is one thousand two hundred and twenty four According to the Innet, Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and even baby Maggie, have joined together to become the modern day Noost Stradamus Collecting all those moments is fun Listles might be underselling The Simpsons powers According to one theory. The show might not even be predicting anything at all could be intentionally the public for the future Shing us what's to come Which is a sobering thought, since no TV show has been better at showing us exactly where the world is headed to an absurd P Welcome to Conspiracy theories.

That's why you rack The Simpsons has been on the air since nineteen eighty nine, almost forty years Over eight hundred episodes and counting, and that's not including the animated shorts from the Tracy Oman showh before they spun off on their own. in that time The show has predicted everything from smart watches to civilians in space to not one, not two, but three Super Bowl winners pererhaps the most famous prediction Donald Trump would become president in an episode titled Bart to the Future Fortune telleller reveals that Bart will grow up to become a struggling musician, while straight A student Lisa, his little sister ends up in the White House. And since this Fortun telleller is extremely detailed We learn that Lisa is elected president immediately following the tenure of The episode airs in March of two thousand sixteen and a half years before President Trump wins his first election. sixteen and a half years Apprentice isn't even in production yet Okay, well, maybe that could be a lucky guess Okay, but how about the time Homer predicts the mass of the Higgs boson, AKA the God particle? in the nineteen ninety eight episode, The Wizard of Evergreen Terrace Homer becomes an inventor. In one shot, he's hard at work writing out an equation on a blackboard. as all inventors do, right? Now if you look at the blackboard, Uh, there's, um, Oh there's pies exponentials, I'm pretty sure that figure there is own, but the equation goes by in a flash And it mostly goes over everyone's head teen years later Physicists at CERN make a groundbreaking discovery. Today's results suggest the existence of the Higgs Baoson, but they are by no means conclusive. The reason there's such a buzz in this room is that the Higgs is so fundamental to physicists understanding the universe that even a hint of its existence is a scientific milestone CEN later confirms they have indeed found the Higgs boson, a particle that had been proposed back in nineteen sixty four, but never proven to exist until now unless you count Homer's bllackboard According to science author, Dr. Simon Singh The equation Homer writes out in that nineteen ninety eight episode comes extremely close to the mass of the Higgs boson Suddenly the lucky guess theory sounds a little less plausible. The list of Simpsons's predictions that end up coming true goes on and on three eyed fish found near a nuclear plant in Argentina Nobel prize recipients Fox selling to Disney. We have to wonder Are these really predictions Be some of the family's exploits just get things a little two in fact The Simpsons has been so precient for so long People believe it doesn't just predict what's going to happen This show actually knows what's coming because they've been told by the people who make our future reality Now stay with me here. We're about to dive into a theory known as D programming Despite the name, predictive programming isn't exactly a psychic prediction. It's more like exposure therapy According to author Alan Watt. Hollywood and the entire world is controlled by an elite group. They go by many names, depending on who you ask. The Illuminati, the New World Order Lizard people, etcetera For simplicity's sake, we're just going to call them the according to theory Ever since ancient Greece E major world and societal change has been planned out far in advance from the advent of using DNA and police investigations to nine eleven to COVID, They were all meticulously calculated by the elite including when to introduce these events to the public The concept of predictive programming is that the elite can't just spring these things on us Tar us Get us used to the idea that the entire world can change in an instant before they unleash their plans Owise, we would riot This is when the media comes in Or so the theory goes. The elite supposedly, plant seeds of an idea or even a tragedy into popular movies and TV shows to get the public familiar with it Take COVID nineteen, for example It happened in twenty twenty But in twenty eleven, there was the film contontagion which was eerily similar to how COVID wreaked havoc on the world Almost like a roadmap for the public on how to navigate a global pandemic in quarantine You may be wondering, Carter, were you here in twenty twenty? The public went into a frenzy about COVID. Well, theorists would likely say that if we weren't subject to predictive programming, It would have been even worse complete civil unrest Wars, explosions in the streets, total end of the world behavior But instead of all that, We more or less listen to the government's orders Stay home and keep your distance The Simpsons also had a plotline that seemed to nod to a life during a pandemic. two thousand seven's The Simpsons movie The entire town of Springfield is quarantined in a giant dome The elite did plan COVID probably wanted the world to blindly follow their quarantine guidelines Homer and the rest of the family manageed to escape their dome. Perfect, one to one comparison But there are people who believe the Simpsons specifically primed us for major world events to show you what I mean Let's go back to april nineteenth, twenty twenty four inside a Manhattan courthouse. Jury selection is underway for President Trump's trial for falsifying a payment to Stormy Daniels. Reporting live just outside is CNN anchor Laura Coates then The live report is interrupted by a commotion M your feet away A man named Max Azarello has said himself Police officers huddle around Max to put out the flames, which have spread out into the park around him He's taken alive to Cornell's burn unit But he left something at the park Pamphlets. which he threw into the air before setting himself ablaze. Pamphlets lead to Max's substack where he labels his self immolation as an act of protest According to him We're all part of a totalitarian con He writes Our own government, along with many of their allies, is about to hit us with an apocalyptic fascist world coup Max also believes that Americans have been brainwashed into accepting our doom by none other than a beloved TV family The Simpsons. While his theory may not use the words predictive programming, it basically outlines the same concept According to Max, cryptocurrency was intentionally made by the government to trigger an economic doomsday And on the government's payroll is Harvard University Max says that the institution is an organized crime front that turnurns out billionaires and course Simpsons writers And yes The Simpsons Writer's room is famously well stocked with Harvard graduates Max believes these grads come to the Simpsons to fulfill their brainwashing duty We, the public, all Homer. ot worker drone who slaves away for an evil billionaire Max's substack mentions an episode where Homer's boss. Mr. Burnns gives him a sign that says Don't forget You are here forever byy the end of the episode, Homer covers portions of the sign with pictures of his baby daughter, Maggie Now the sign reads Do it. her a heartwarming moment that reminds us why we work so hard provide for our families Max, however, doesn't think it's that sweet to him It's actually a message from the government. telling us that we quote, have no choice but to work for evil billionaires for the rest of our lives This whole propels Max to fight back in the form of protest Shortly afterward, he dies from his resulting injuries So it seems that predictive programming isn't just fodder for click bait listicles It's something People really believe And the Simpsons is an easy target for that theory because they've covered just about every topic. And they've happened to get it right a shocking number of times Edward Snowden wasn't the first to reveal that the NSA is listening in on our conversations The Simpsons movie was. And don't forget about the twenty fourteen Ebola outbreak predicted that too And there's the infamous shot of Lisa holding a magazine advertising trips to New York It's from a nineteen ninety seven episode And the magazine has a big nine on it next to the silhouette of the World Trade Center looking like the number eleven Some believe this was a subliminal message preparing us for nine Now, longtime Simpson showrunner Al Jean calls that one an insane. cooincidence, not brainwashing It's not like the government has officially been rewriting movie and TV scripts for decades Except for the fact that they have.

Looking back on almost forty seasons of The Simpsons, viewers have noticed strange similarities between decades old jokes and current events which has led some to theorize that the Simpsons is priming us for a future that's all planned out by an elite global cohort under the theory of predictive programming These elite rulers naturally include the U S. government. We've claimed that the government has done a lot of shady things on this show, but What I'm about to say next is proven They have been not so secretly controlling Hollywood since esssentially the birth of cinema Think of your typical war film, or even a Marvel movie. You know those scenes featuring military helicopters, tanks or navy ships. They're not always CGI, nor are they vehicles that are production assistant picked up before the shoot. Oftentimes they're on loan straight from the U. S. government Change Uncle Sam asks the movie studios for one teeny tiny favor You can use our vehicles. We get to read your script and change whatever we want specifically how we're portrayed Is Iron Man going to reference soldier suicides? Well not if you want to use our tanks That line out The Hulk is going to reference Vietnam. James Bond is to Mhmm. No, that won't make us look good. U rewrite These are real examples, by the way When it comes to Hollywood Government wants to look like heroes. Initially, they didn't want their influence to be too obvious. That's why they helped out on anti war films too. like nineteen twenty five's The Big Parade and nineteen forty one's Dive bomber But once the Cold War kicks off in nineteen forty five, the government goes all in on making Hollywood a pro America machine a whirlwind of propaganda emerges in those years from both sides the U.S and the Soviets They each have to show their citizens why the other world power is the bad guy One way the Soviets do this is by highlighting America's blatant racism towards African Americans The CIA can't let that stand. So in the nineteen fifties, they team up with paramount studios They instruct the studio to cast well dressed African Americans in their movies And they make sure that they will refer to themselves as free men The CIA isn't the only organization doing this From the nineteen thirties into the sixties FBI rewrites movie scripts that have their agents performing wiretaps on communists All those scenes go It's possible the FBI does this for legitimate reasons What if a communist sees this movie and realizes that we're wiretapping them. It's a security risk But the bureau also has movie producers delete scenes where their agents drink alcohol, hrest their feet on tables. They need the FBI to be heroes with no table manners You may be wondering why the studios allow the government to do this What happened to freedom of speech? What happened to art Well, for one thing, the producers want to play with the government's toys, you know? Big guns and helicopters But also, the producers want to get their movies made and make their money back Some of them are probably just choosing the path of least resistance. with their Hollywood dreams and jobs on the line prodroucers comply with the government's demands. This involvement really comes to head in the nineteen nineties when the CIA started their public entertainment liaison office star of this division is former CIA operative Chase Brandon He consults on movies and TV shows to make sure they are accurately portraying the CIA Of course, making the agency look cool He tells the Gardian that the CIA has, quote always been portrayed erroneously as evil and Machiavellian It took us a long time to support projects that portray us in a light we want to be seen in Chase starts to work on high profile intellectual property, such as the nineteen nineties Jack Ryan film franchise titular character played by AS stars like Alec Baldwin, Harison Ford and Ben Afflack. is a CIA analyst and eventual deputy director gets into shootouts, repels off helicopters into submarines. Yeah. pretty bad assen and is essentially America's James Bond It is A plus propaganda If you're a fan of this show, you're probably not surprised to hear that the government does whatever they can to look good What does this have to do with predictive programming? Let's move past the nineties and into the wake of nyeen ninet According to an article in the Atlantic by journalist Nicholas Skow The CIA really embeds themselves into Hollywood after the attack. trade center time the U.S is understandably in a panic about terrorist threats. CIA seemingly uses that to their advantage After nine hundred eleven, some Americans likely turned to entertainment to see us beat the terrorists But some of the TV and movies they're watching shows the U. S. winning in ure Trture is is a hotly debated topic amongst U. S. citizens Some are against it Some think it's an unfortunate but necessary tactic Perhaps Perhaps The CIA sees how devastated Americans are after september two thousand one gets an idea. Enter Jack The main character on Fox is twenty four, which aired its first episode on november sixth, two thousand one. is a counter terrorist agent played by Kiefer Sutherland tax the nation by any means necessary including Trture The TV show airs two months after nine eleven, so the timeline is already suspect In addition to the timing is the show's content Imagine if the elite wanted torture to be more widely accepted popular show that glorifies the acts might be a stealthy way to pull that off. By the way, after the first few seasons of twenty four in two thousand five bombshell hits the news. It's revealed that post nine eleven, the Bush administration did officially torture terrorists And If you're a twenty four fan, maybe the news doesn't surprise you They may say, Well of course they torture terrorists. Don't you watch twenty four Do then maybe programming did its job And twenty four isn't the only CIA backed piece of media to feature torture Around twenty twelve, the filmmakers behind Zero Dark thirty have seemingly unprecedented access to the CIA The movie is about the real life SEL Team six mission to capture Osama bin Laden and to make the most accurate film possible, The agency gives the production team insider knowledge rightight down to replicating the floor plan at CIA headquarters in Langley The agency even helps The script. edit the final cut of the film And in doing so, they make torture seem instrumental in capturing bin Laden Now, offfficially torture wasn't used in the real life SEL Team six mission If that's true Why does Zero Dark thirty feature it so heavily This is just conjecture. But Osama bin Laden was America's number one enemy after nine eleven. if the public saw that waterboarding helped capture him then maybe they'd support its use. No one would be up in arms After the film is released, however Zero Dark thirtty's torture scenes are the subject of much controversy The movie gets called out as blatant torture propaganda to some accounts, a third of the entire film is one terrorist getting tortured and waterboarded That is a nearly hour long sequence. probably made viewers uncomfortable But what would happen if those scenes We're in the Simpsons If the CIA had Homer and the guys from Mo's torture a terrorist, it would likely be areas filled with hijinks and Homer probably getting hurt more than the bad guy. It'd be a farce. America would be laughing torture Don't believe me One of Homer's longest running gags, a trademark of the show, was him strangling Bart. to the Simpsons credit Homer hasn't actually done this since the show's thirty first season As Homer says in a later episode Times have changed Let's Pause here The CIA's involvement with Hollywood is sketchy But I mean They can't really brainwash us. can they? I mean, especially through a Town. Researchers at Princeton University beg to differ You may remember this study from our subliminal messaging episode In two thousand two Researchers have two groups watch an episode of The Simpsons Only it's been altered. The control group has at least twelve new frames added to the episode. It seems these are just plain white flashes on the screen test subjects, however have a shot of a Coca Cola can inserted into twelve frames of the episode. An twelve frames have the word Thirsty This group know that the soda messaging was added. reports that they were actually thirstier once the episode is over. twenty seven percent more so than when it started control group was less thirsty So what does this mean If the Simpsons did have secret messages, then we would be influenced by them. Maybe. But the subjects of this study likely didn't go running for a coke when it was over. They may have been thirstier, but they weren't soda loving zombies dating their fix. just like how us Simpson fans aren't robotically saying Yes, Mr. Burns. Manurian candidate whenever our boss emails us Subliminal messaging in general has been proven to not really work. It may influence us slightly, but that influence won't be long lasting, let alone permanent That's Kind of a wrinkle on the whole predictive programming theory Speaking of There's one more inconsistency in the predictive programming idea that we haven't covered yet The elite choosing the Simpsons as their brainwashing tool may not make sense. Especially when you consider that the U.S government and the Simpsons were once Yeah with each other Chronic migraine is fifteen or more headache days a month, each lasting four hours or more Plbotox, on Aacha linumoxin A prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine before they start.

Nowadays, the Simpsons is loved by families all over the world The elite's goal is to program as many people as possible, then the Simpsons is a perfect show to use But when it first aired, there was one very famous couple who despised them the first family aroundround seeptember, nineteen ninety First lady Barbara Bush tells People Magazine that the Simpsons quote was the dumbest thing I had ever seen. article results in a letter from Marge Simpson herself Well, it was actually written by the Simpsons writer's room. but the letter from Marge was published by the press in it Marge tells Barbara that she tries to teach her kids to be kind is hard when the firstirst lady of the United States calls them stupid Barbara. sends her own letter to the press. She thanks Marge for speaking her mind Barbara says she didn't know Marge had since Marge is It wasn't the last time the Bush family went after the Simpsons On january twenty seventh, nineteen ninety two, President George Bush Sr. speaks to a crowd in Washington, DC talks about the decline of the American family And he says, The next value I speak of must be forever cast in stone. I speak of decency, the moral courage to say what is right and condemn what is wrong. And we need a nation closer to the Waltons than the Simpsons an America that rejects the incivility, the tide of incivility, and the tide of intolerance For the unfamiliar, The Waltons is a nineteen seventies TV drama about the aftermath of the Great Depression follows a conservative, wholesome family in Virginia George thinks his comparison is a mic drop moment However, many Americans feel that he missed the mark as Jay Leno puts it in an interview, The trouble with America is that we have too many families like the Waltons They've got no jobs. They live in broken down shacks with no healthca. At least Homer has a job in his own home. The hit ratings show that middle class America loves the Simpsons They remind everyone of their own families In short Bush quote likely doesn't win him any votes may even be partly why he loses the presidency to Bill Clinton. The feud between the Bush family and the Simpsons also shows the Simpsons writers that they are doing what they set out to do Lampon those in charge It's a quality about the Simpsons that predictive programming believers may not realize The Simpsons goes after the U.S government whenever they have a chance. andre not just them, but anyone in power Police in Springfield are num skulls Bart's principal is a laughing stock mama's boy get them started on their network, Fox The writers love throwing jabs at them At their core, they're anti authoritarian So would the elite of America, which partart at one point calls Bonerand really choose them as their world brainwashing agent According to Alan Watt, the Simpsons may not even know they're part of the machine Allan theorizes that the bigger directors and producers in Hollywood are the ones who get instructions from the elite What he's saying is, it's possible that someone at the top only one who knows the predictive programming agenda Writers have no clue They think they're sticking it to the man The man is really calling the shots. As with any conspiracy theory. We can say it's all part of the master plan until the cows come home. But what does real science say? According to some researchers, predictive programming could all be something called Hindsight bias also referred to as the I knew it all along phenomenon. particularly common after something goes wrong. Basically, before we know the outcome, we may entertain other scenarios But once we know what happened, We believe that the ending was obvious all along The plan falls apart? you suddenly know it was flawed from the beginning Your favorite football team loses a big game, you can pinpoint exactly where they veered off course. I knew they were going to choke Did Iive though. Maybe the Simpsons isn't predicting the future We're just watching the old episodes with the benefit of hindsight and making connections Even if the show has gotten it right, by one University of Albany Professor's calculations twelve hundred twenty four times Because if you ask the Simpsons writers to explain it They'll tell you It's just a game of odds According to Simpsons writer, Jay Cogan, If you make fun of everything and make impossibly silly jokes about everything, it turns out thirty years later, some of them turn out to be true He's got a point It's a satirical show written by a whole team smart people They don't just pull plotlines and jokes from out of nowhere It's all based on the world around them even when they predicted Trump's presidency I mentioned earlier that in Bart to the Future, an older Lisa Simpson becomes president And she says that she inherited a budget crunch from President Trump As it turns out This line was written basically like a mad liib. According to writers, the joke began as a budget crunch from President Blank Around that time in real life Trump was already mentioning that he may run for president. So the writers chose Trump They didn't know they were making a prediction. They were just trying to make their script as funny and as topical as possible As for Homer getting shockingly close to predicting the mass of the Higgs boson Dr. Simon Singh points out that many of the show's writers are mathematicians. And they've been hiding math jokes in the show for as long as it's been on the air. doctor Singh even wrote an entire book on the subject this may be a key point to how some shows seem like they have access to a Crystal ball Fiction writers try to reflect real life sometometimes They even get help For instance, the original Star Trek may seem like the ultimate predictive programming machine in terms of technology Airing in the late sixties, with movies released as early as the seventies The show's communicator devices all look like precursors to modern day smartphones and watches. But that's probably because the writers consulted with someone from Ran Iran is a research facility focusing on policy changes and technological advances. This consultant helps the Star Trek writers brainstorm futuristic technology basing it on actual research So the show may have cell phone like communicators because the consultant the writers made an informed hypothesis about where communication tech was going And in fact, The creator of the first mobile phone credits Star Trek as inspiration imitates life and life. to be transparent, we should note that RAand is funded by the U.S govern But the RAN Star Trek consultant officially worked on the show as a private citizen and not as a RAN agent That could also just be You'll be shocked to learn that many years later, the Simpsons made fun of the peculiar nature of the company. In a nineteen ninety four episode, there's a joke about the Rand corporation in conjunction with saucer people and reverse vampires controlling Springfield's adults The thing is Art and life are so connected that every plotline, every joke, every sci fi moment could be perceived as predictive programming is The Simpsons priming us for some kind of master plan We don't know When the next tragedy pandemic or just cool piece of tech comes along The Simpsons at thirty seven seasons in counting, will probably be there and they'll help us process everything with some much needed laughs Thank you for listening to Conspiracy theories We're here with a new episode every Wednesday Be sure to check us out on Instagram at the Conspiracy Pod.
