We stay in touch somehow it seems! The idea of a generated program is a lot like 'They Live' as far as the mind-control goes, and I just mixed it with an older idea that I had of the grey 'aliens' actually being from inside our planet, designed to work in darkness (those eyes!) and that maybe even humans originated from in there, since we can't handle sunlight or the extreme temperatures on the surface. How our ancestors got kicked out of the plush interior is the mystery now!
2020 is soon, and not unrealistic as far as a general date for some apocalyptic blowing of minds to happen in a big way, it seems inevitable at this rate already. As far as lots of people losing it or becoming zombies-- I think most will remember their child mind, and without interference from the grown-ups, we'll invent everything anew. Lots of young people today are not buying the old system, and not bothering to join it-- they might know that better is due very soon.
