Ron: to be honest it feels like from what I'm told that most of what was important back then on earth in the 20th or 21st century seems now like old nonsense Interviewer: do you have examples? Ron: Sure... old earth politics of the nations of earth or the main religions of earth it seems like ancient history... it seems to me you pretty much solved all those old conflicts and problems and moved on with your future Interviewer: can you be more specific? Ron: (sign) Well, look at the nation I was born in - the state of Israel in the middle east - it's gone along with the arab - israeli conflict along with the Israeli politics of right and left parties in the parliament alongside the Jewish religion or Islam religion alongside with terror acts and wars and protestors and anti-democratic laws what I'm trying to say what was thought to be so important those days now seems irrelevant... Interviewer: and is that good or bad in your eyes? Ron: I don't know for sure, but it's good that we, as humans, have moved on from all those old conflicts. Now we have the whole universe to settle in, no more conflicts about territory, and science and technology have replaced religious fanaticism. Interviewer: do you miss the old earth? Ron: I miss the good thing about it, not the bad ones Interviewer: such as? Ron: my family friends, and people I knew... Interviewer: anything else? Ron: (sign) I miss going to burger king and grabbing a burger, some potato chips, and coca cola. I miss smoking real tobacco cigarettes. I miss the old Israeli folk music my parents used to listen to and music from the 1980s and 1990s my friends and I used to like I miss my home town and going to visit my relatives in Jerusalem - stuff like that. Interviewer: is there anything that you feel bad about? Ron: I feel bad for all the people in my time who were stuck in their old problems and could not look at the future and the stars above them I wish earth people in my time would have invested more effort and resources in conquering and settling the stars and universe instead of fighting stupid wars against each other - I wish more people could find a way to get out of the earth and find a new home in the off-world colonies Interviewer: one last question what do you think about today's time and period? Ron: I feel like we are living in an early 20th-century sci-fi book by Asimov or on a star trek series episode Interviewer: and is that good or bad? Ron: I don't know, but I'm fine with it...
