Here in the Ides of January, 2024, we of the Fuuuuutuuuuuure have cured cancer, solved the Riddle of the Sphinx and easily feed the world. We walk tall and cast long shadows. Our jet packs propel us hither and yon, and all that road surface has been returned to arable land. Everyone says please, thank you, and Remember GoFundMes for cancer treatment? Home Owners Associations are gracious when disabled people need help and accommodations. Individually, we recognize that other people will be better at some sorts of work than us and we enjoy their successes, as they improve everyone’s lives. Once we cured Alzheimers and other forms of dementia, we no longer feared aging and welcomed its wisdom. We value the lives of children enough to educate and protect them from violence, and their comfort is a comfort to us all. Our economy is organized around research and development of technologies that enhance our quality of life and harmony with Nature. Oceans are free of toxic trash. Ice shelves model stability and, from year to year, weather and Dad jokes remain the same. It was challenging when we decided to care about the future our grandchildren were born into enough to change how we did business, how we conducted ourselves and how we governed ourselves, but it was worth it.
