This is Ursula Thompson.

My report for American history class on the 2030 sixth Climate.
Well,

We do it once a quarter

And it's called Preventative Wellness.

Whoa. Yeah. I thought I'd try something new

Hand.

It's interesting, there's a certain power in being early,

controlling a space by being first rather than disrupting it by being last.

You think you'll do it again?

Probably not. I always leave it too much.

What the hell

She got here before I did

Just a one off.

How's it feel being late?

I'm always scared when I'm late.

You just gotta try it once, man.
Wake up car.

Emma. No. Can't be the real.
Emma would never.

Yeah. Yeah. Don't get too excited. I got up early.
It won't happen again.

That's true. Because this is the last day

Of my life.

No. Of our work here of our 10 days.
That shook the world,

Huh? Okay, cool, cool.

Right. Uh, command Z you mean?

It's everyone's last day.
Even mine in a way.

Cooler. And cooler.

Hold up now.

I was told my deal would be guaranteed
through the end of the fiscal year,

Sam,

you'll be getting all the compensation
you were promised plus super severance.

Final mission and all that.

Wait, so this is it.
Am I getting transferred?

Actually, yes. All of you are.

Aren't there other non wormhole,

non-time travel ways that we could keep at this?

It's that kind of wisdom that got you on this team, Jamie.

Well, our total improvement score was just like 2%.
Right? Big whoop

As the result of three people and two ais working together for a couple of weeks

in one shitty little room.
Yes. Big whoop.

This is all fascinating team.

But we need to get started because we're running out of time.
And in some sense,

this is your most important target,

yet the influencer and target are

me.

In 2023, curing r fete had made.
I'll take it from here. Alice. I've just made,

made my 300th billion and there was this one girl I knew from college.

This super do-gooder. Interned at the un.

Whoa, whoa. Stop.

Please do not try to tell me that the
fate of the world is tied to you getting

some girl to notice you.

It needs to be a little more than noticing actually,

Uhoh,

She needs to fall for you.

We need to become intimate.

I want no part of this.

Yeah. I'm feeling the creep too.

Getting two people to hook up so that somehow
maybe in some way we can't predict

America and the planet are helped.
And you're still saying no.

Yes.

I'm saying no to using precious time travel technology to run an escort service.

I didn't

Know Ai AI could get horny. They're

Both so cynical, so stupidly cynical and selfish. Just like the bad guys.

These missions have worked out so far. I'll do it.

Astrid. Hey, it's kerning. Fealty from college.

Not filthy. Sorry. I'm doing talk to text. But feelt,

I think you know who I am. Uh, listen,

I've been working on a couple projects that I think you would be really

interested in and I'd love to tell you all about them over drinks maybe.

What do you think?

Hello? Ning. Uh, surprised you hear from you after last time,

but Sure. Brandy Library at five 30.

Yes please.

Astrid. Great to see you again. Mm.

I feel like I see you all the time.

So you quit your refugee relocation job?

No, no. It changed its name to a light.

A light.

A light light. A l i g h t. Okay. It's one,

one word means people landing in in better places.

You're making me feel weird about the new name and it's good. Good.

It's a good name.

Did you consider a l i t e? Oh

God.

Um, people don't like typing. G h t

Thank you for the feedback. Appreciate that.

I really love your shirt.

Thanks.

What's, what are they saying? The trees?

Uh,

they're saying stop killing us to make a billion cardboard boxes nine times the

size of the unnecessary thing they contain.

Whoops.

You know, Astrid, you are so right,

which is part of what I wanted to talk to you about. Believe it or not,

I've been spending hundreds of millions of dollars a year on box r and d.

We've nearly perfected this one model where you bury the boxes and trees grow

out of each one and another type smaller that dissolve in water to help clean

the water and become a nutritious fiber supplement gluten-free.

They could be game changing.

We're making the patents public so that any company can use 'em for free.

Well, that, that's true. That's a nice little start.

And is only the start. I'm working on so many things,

but let me get you a glass of this 50 year old yamazaki.

It's gonna change your life.

And then there's this crazy idea I have for karaoke subsidies.

What? Well, basic

What, what subsidies

You? Well,

so karaoke has been shown to be sort of an empathy hack. Okay. You know,

where it be the fastest way to make two groups of people

or two individuals connect people who have no ability to

connect or even communicate. Yeah. Yeah.

Who might not even speak the same language. Right.

It's a direct channel to having a shared experience and feeling empathy

for, for another person. Oh

God. That's so true. I was in Japan and I was staying with the host family. Yes.

And my Japanese sucks. Um, and me and the father, we,

we could not find any commonality. No. We weren't communicating.

The vibe was not good. And we went to karaoke. Right.

And the whole thing just opened up because he loved,

he loved Fleetwood Mac and so do I.

And we started doing Fleetwood Mac songs.

Amazing. Yeah,

It was, it changed everything.

Amazing. What did you sing?

Uh, Rhiannon. Great. Yeah. And dreams.

And he was loving it. Oh, he loved it. Yeah. He fell in love with you. Oh

Yeah. Loved Stevie X loved me. Great. It was good. Yeah,

Yeah, yeah. So we're spending a lot of time and money on that.

Okay. Your trees. Oh,

whose trees are they?

Yours? Well, the whole, the whole planet

Benefits from No, no, no. Whose trees are they? Oh God. I can't watch those.

My trees. This thing of a mute button. Oxygen. Uh, oh.

So much co2.

Everyone's benefiting from the oxygen.

So much. Co2, the whole out of the, the atmosphere. Trees.

Oh, my trees. Lumber. Oh, my trees.

I just don't think this is gonna work

Out. Here we go. What do you,

oh, what are you doing? What you think?

Why did he say that? I didn't make him say that. Yeah.

I,

I don't know why I said all that stuff earlier.

Stop

Saying that. What's he doing?

I really Well what about,

what about all the projects and the plans and the initiatives and the

trees and the whales? The thing is that all, all that, um,

Just costs like, you know, all that stuff. Costs a lot of money.

Mean a lot. Yeah. No shit mean. No

Shit. It does. It's kind of nice to think about it and everything, but, um,

kind of, it was great seeing you and uh, I would love to be in touch.

No, no, no, no, no. I don't ever want to talk to you ever again,

so just lose my number. That would be great.

Well, you know, the ball is in your court.

Maybe I'll reach out in a couple months,

see if you're still feeling upset or whatever. You're

Uh Oh my god. You're going through. Oh my God. Curig. Be well. Okay.

Bye. Oh f**k.

What did he do? What did you do?

We've already been through this.

This whole thing was a scam to get this pathetic dead nerd laid.

That's the climactic takeaway of 200,000 years of human history.

I warned you at the start, the missing piece of narrative.

Well, that was real. Colonel, I look forward to my final payment.

You're taking his money. I

Did the work

Under false pretenses.

I know.

I've made some fairy

poor decisions. Dave.

Hey guys. Guys, listen. Not to me. Listen,

it's quiet.

Jamie, Sam, Emma.

And you are,

I'm turning Ty.

Wow. With a full beard and everything.

I wanted to meet you all in person. Congratulate you.

You did it worked hard, improvised, kept your eyes on the ball,

played the long game. Saw what happened over years.

Of course. Did it in 10 days with your cheat the home,

You're cheat cheater.

How was that despicable? One half night stand worth it?

I immediately felt guilty accountable for my bad action.

First time in my life, first time in love,

and became a better man to get Astrid Jensen to respect me.

Eventually giving away 99% of my wealth, helped

My wealth.

F*****g trillionaires think they can make everything better with money

pass through the eye of a wormhole into the kingdom of God,

Woody girl.

But as I think Jamie said,

do people's motivations for doing good really matter.

Mm-hmm.

When those good deeds keep s****y corrupt systems in place. Yeah, sometimes.

But back to your story. How did you ancient meat kerning end up here Now

Astrid, talk to me.

Out of uploading my mind to the cloud talked me out of personally going to Mars.

So here I still am, fortunately in the old flesh.

So after that first awful evening together,

Pimped by you, you

Got back together and stayed together.

We did. And we had children who also policed me,

especially our younger daughter named Emma.

Coincidentally.

Oh,

Excellent. Time travel. Ontological paradox joke.

Well, we've got one more step in our journeys together. If you want.

I'd like to invite each of you to travel through the wormhole physically to join

me for a final briefing elsewhere.

Hold on.

Didn't you say that the wormhole was rotting about to collapse and when you

tried to send people through it, they didn't make it.

The other me said that, didn't he? The ai,

me talking about his wormhole and his technology and that other timeline,

the wormhole that I've stewarded for decades is exceptionally sound

with zero signs of imminent collapse.

And we have sent people through successfully a

few.

So you wanna meet with us elsewhere?

Yeah, thanks. But I think I'm gonna stay here.

Just an invitation to continue the experiment,

but with an extremely large resigning bonus,

your entire lifetime earnings paid in advance in one

lump sum and invested in a pastime throwing off

ginormous interest in perpetuity.

That's some 401k

Universal basic f**k you money.

But as the oldest here, I'm thinking the youngest first

one at a time.

Okay,

see you guys around.

Hope so.

Stay in touch. Never change.

Maybe you can get back together with Molly.

Well, this is a new thing.

That's exit. Let's go with that.

Hey Jamie,

Where are we? When are we?

Let's take a walk. We don't have a lot of time.

Why? Because fut us. He's about to lose warm hole connection again,

More like time travel, jet lag, getting through customs.

So the old occurring field tee that just set you here,

that's the me that you made possible by getting me together with Astrid getting

me on the right track.

How long are we gonna spend here?

That's the thing. You're staying here. This is where you're from.

You and Sam and Emma. Emma, what? You're an employee of mine,

which you already know. But here in 2023,

offered the three of you the chance of a lifetime to be like the first

astronauts traveled through the worm hold, which you took me up on.

Did your 10 days of excellent work there and now you're back home in 2023.

Round trip.

I'm like tripping. Maybe I've drank too much of that wormhole liquid.

No, no. But our liquid, the Tempit ethyl Lloyds along with our nanobots,

all of you have them. They let us rewrite your neo cortexes, cortices, whatever,

temporarily replace memories,

mix and match old ones with fabricated ones so that when you arrived in 2053,

you thought you'd always lived there.

All of this was explained ahead of time in advance. And anyway,

the metal changes are all completely transient. Like a temporary tattoo.

Hated your corner jokes before, hit them more. Now

By tomorrow morning, all of your pre-travel memories should be back 2023. Jamie.

Good is new. Well, I mean good is old.

Why should I believe that's true? Because

It's probably already started. Where were you in school when Obama was elected?

Omaha, Nebraska. Sixth grade. Harley Swanson Elementary. Oh,

And what's the name of my AI assistant in 2053?

Alexa. No, Alessandra. This is sick.

Then gradually softly, over the next couple weeks,

all of your recent memories could come back, including your visit to the future.

You'll have, if you pardon the expression total recall,

This is like some stupid fucking video game solving puzzles, beating bosses,

leveling up. But I

R l you of all people should be stoked.

You'll be so perfectly equipped to accelerate progress long term here.

Now on the ground. Think you need to see this chance.

I don't care. Fuck. About what you think I need.

I don't need you to tell me I can make a difference.

Or how would you fucking danoff wanna be? I'm always right.

Pop rich eyes like you always just want control.

Fair point.

And that's exactly the kind of righteous passion I think is so essential right

now. Fuck you. You know, Jamie,

it would be a tragedy if out of anger you squandered this special opportunity to

keep shaping history. To be somebody who makes the future better. You

Need to shut up. Before I hurt you, Emma was also right about time travel.

It never works.

Yes,
