Tip#748: Expand Your Mind with Science Fiction, Part 1 - After the Dark

I’ve loved science fiction movies and TV shows since I was a kid because they fire up my imagination! They’ve kept my mind wide open to concepts like quantum realities or alternate realities. This is the belief that every possible future we can imagine for ourselves already exist. All we have to do is maintain focus on the future reality we want and it will eventually manifest in the physical.

TV shows like the Star Trek series, Fringe or Lost and films like Inception, The Matrix and Contact all helped me expand my thinking and see new perspectives to challenges in life. Science fiction has helped me recognize alternate decisions and options I may never have seen before.

After the Dark (Formerly called The Philosophers) (2013)

The science fiction psychological thriller film, After the Dark, explores the thinking in choosing 10 out of 20 people to survive in an underground shelter for one year during a nuclear apocalypse. In a class of graduating seniors a philosophy teacher Mr. Zimit (James D’Arcy) conducts a thought experiment and assigns each student an occupation. Each person then votes on who is essential for rebooting the human race. I recommend you see this fascinating film without seeing the trailer or knowing anymore about the story.

This highly engaging and thought-provoking film will have you rethinking your initial perceptions of the values of people and their professions, skill sets and personal interests. The alternate scenarios within the movie will also inspire you to discover what is most important for a thriving, supportive community. This film is excellent for building teamwork and team spirit.

Let science fiction movies help expand your imagination and recognize alternate realities and options you can apply as solutions to your own work and life challenges.

“You know what "apocalypse" actually means? To uncover what you haven't seen before - the way out of the dark.”
