America Is Lost Part Two: Raymond's Revenge Episode 18

  • Summary

  • The title of this episode is "The Enemy is Within." Its main purpose is to present the theoretical explanation of how we are not able to know what a poem is predicting until after the event has happened. We can say that it predicts something or other, but we only know for sure after it happens. The concept is termed here as The Paradox in Prediction. The point being that knowing what is going to happen will make it possible to prevent that event from happening thus causing a paradox and the prediction would never have occurred. It's complicated, but think about time travel as a comparison. The one amazing prediction occurring in this episode is that the team crosses the Potomac River. Prior to the January 6, there was an attempt foiled by authorities to bring weapons across the river in a small boat. Other predictions appearing in this episode have not yet occurred, so I cannot tell you about them until after they have happened. If I told you, then you would know. If you know, then you will try to prevent it from happening. If you prevent it from happening, then it will not have ever been in the poem as a prediction. Get it?Thanks to the musical talents: Come With Us by Nat Keefe & Hot Buttered Rum, Climbing by Reed Mathis, and 19th Floor by Bobby Richards.
