iFiction's Top 5 Ageless Men of History

The Fountain of Youth

by Lucas Cranach the Elder (1472-1553)

THE FUTURIST! presents a new Top 5 List concocted by Aaron Johnson, known as @iFiction on the miraculous 140 character transmission device known as Twitter. THE FUTURIST! doesn't "know" Aaron Johnson in the corporeal sense. AS is the case in today's strange, yet wonderful, internet world, we encounter others in a digital written manner ... no actual speaking, no actual flesh and bone presence to gaze upon and no chance of catching a cold from each other. People don't even know where each other reside; for instance, Aaron Johnson states on his Twitter that his Locale is THE UNIVERSE and his Bio claims .. I AM. An enigma, but one that communicates from the ether of the ghostly world wide web. Well, the same can be said for THE FUTURIST! ... correct?

Here are some amazing "tweets" he has posted:

It so happens I have come to learn that "Love," "Creativity," and,
"God" are more or less equivalent terms.

Virtuality; intimidation fluxes off the sides of an intimate
expansion, radiant, transparent, ecstatically and radically full.

We all share No Self.

I'm such a nihilist that I don't even believe
in not believing in anything.

The problem with romance, courtship, and chivalry is that they're rooted in an idealization of one's partner, which inhibits mutuality.

Sometimes a cigar is just a penis.

Aardvark. Aardvark. Aardvark. Aardvark. Aardvark.
Aardvark. Aardvark. Aardvark. Aardvark. Aardvark. Aardvark. Aardvark

"Lost" is quite possibly the greatest story ever told on television.


Aaron has contributed a Top 5 List of his own choosing which is as enigmatic as himself. He has, also, asked to include the video below the list for your perusal. It is an amazing mini-analysis of a person we are all aware of ... and may explain a lot about him. Please enjoy. And thank you, Aaron Johnson for your list!
