“To romance of the future may seem to be indulgence in ungoverned speculation for the sake of the marvelous. Yet controlled imagination in this sphere can be a very valuable exercise for minds bewildered about the present and its potentialities. Today we should welcome, and even study, every serious attempt to envisage the future of our race; not merely in order to grasp the very diverse and often tragic possibilities that confront us, but also that we may familiarize ourselves with the certainty that many of our most cherished ideals would seem puerile to more developed minds. To romance of the far future, then, is to attempt to see the human race in its cosmic setting, and to mold our hearts to entertain new values.”Preface to LAST AND FIRST MEN -A STORY OF THE NEAR AND FAR FUTURE — by W. Olaf Stapledon (July 1930)
The pandemic is about to end, we can shake off our fears and gradually start dreaming again. Dream, with eyes wide open, with hope with fiery desire. It is our most uplifting capacity of mind, to imagine a new future and have the courage to mobilize all forces to make it a reality. To dream is to be free.
