Dear Outsider,
What would you do if you could predict the future?
Better yet what if you could create the future?
Would you warn the world of any impending disasters to make sure people are safe?
Or keep it to yourself and devise a scheme to profit?
We know from the James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies that the villain always chooses the latter.
In the movie, which has aged particularly well, media mogul Elliot Carver attempts to start a war between the U.K. and China by publishing news articles about future events that haven't happened yet. He attempts to write the future through publishing what we'd call "fake news" today.
MovieWeb writes, "His evil comes from his 24-hour-a-day coverage and the lies that this permits him. He is a villain for the Twitter age, created before Twitter even existed."
