Tralfamadorians view the universe in a way that is vastly different from our own. In your blog, please explain how the tralfamadorians view the universe and the consequences associated with it. Discuss pros and cons, and whether or not Billy's mission to educate the public would be beneficial to society.
Points to consider:
-free will
-accountability for ones actions
-motivation to better ones self
(: (: Tralfamadorians view the universe as in time. It views the universe in moments, all at once, like a whole bunch of scenes put together to create one big picture. The people are viewed as millipeads, because they see us doing the whole day in a flash. We only see our life as one frame, followed by another frame. Tralfamadorians view it all together. For example, you can take a roll of film, with a movie on it, and tape it around the room. You see it all but don't have a clue on whats going on. The tralfamadorians see that, but they can process it better than. Also, for example, you are at the football game, and you don't know who is going to win. The Tralfamadorians can see all that, before it happens. :) :)
(: (: Billy's mission to educate the public would not be beneficial because when you see something that is going to happen in the future, most likely, you can not change it if you wanted. For example, if you knew that the football team was going to lose, then if you tryed to cheat your way through it, they would most likely still lose. Or for another example, if you knew how your death might happen, chances are, you can not change it, because you can not change free will. What it is, wil be. In a way that this method of informing the public would be good, is that if you knew that in a horse rade, Oscar was going to be sally, then you would most definitly vote for oscar to win so that you could win. It is a way of bettering ones self and the people around them. :) :)
