"Optimism and pessimism, as cosmic philosophies, show the same naïve humanism... All such philosophies spring from self-importance, and are best corrected by a little astronomy."

Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand and melting like a snowflake.

@hksfuture the human brain functions in narrative, our minds are continuously hashing and rehashing storylines about our life, our place in the community. Our foundational storylines are buildings our futures #ImaginariesofAI@WorldFutureSoc
Every aspect of human life is rooted in narratives-our cultures are based on narratives that define rules & norms, they give meaning & context to the world around us, & they subconsciously shape (& constrain) our possibilities and our futures. #ImaginariesofAI#newnarratives https://t.co/ouzngIm5kj
historic day for our 51 year old organization - World Future Society London launches with a high profile group of futurists and visionary leadership in attendance tonight at the @UKHouseofLords#globalfuturists#wfslondon
Like great futurists who hold multiple possible futures in their minds, humans who learn to be comfortable with conflicting ideas and realities have the best chance of thriving in the present. #resilience#dialectics#future https://t.co/tw0mcUMYK2
Remembering Kabir, the painting was done live last year in Varanasi, imbued by Ganga and the many echoes of Kabir.
