I really encourage everyone just for a moment to stop debating on whether John Titor is actually a time traveller from 2036, and go through the site and read all his posts. It makes for a great read, and (hopefully) will freak you out like it did to me!!
The guy's brilliant. The physics may or may not be accurate but the social and political commentary he makes are amazing. Pay particular attention to his suggestions and recommendations, and his description of his future. Note his frustration with the hostility he sees from the other posters, and disgust with today's excessive, materialistic society and political events. And the commentary on the food we eat and trends in disease. I think that's the main point of story, not whether he's "for real" or not. Some of the things he describes don't sound like they'd be hard to predict if people can see the warning signs. To tell you the truth, I think that's the main reason I was freaked out.
He's obviously well trained in basic physics and is very sharp and insightful. Whether he's a time traveller or not he's created quite a stir and tells a great story -- he's very convincing.
Having said all that, I still don't believe that he's from 2036 but I'll never discount the possibility that something like this could actually be true. He told a very plausible story and was making a social comment on what the world might become. So hopefully the debate on whether he's "real" or not will not overshadow and blind people to the rest of what he's saying.
