  1. I am too late to read this, the recommendation poped it while I was reading your latest stories. However, I am glad it did. I have never heard of 'Future Day', so I started Googling it. It is not a know holiday, which by the way should be. Then at some places, it says this holiday is invented by Dr. Ben Goertzel, is that true?
