Future

 If you were a Neanderthal, what would you imagine a far future to look like?

If you were Jesus, what would you imagine a far future to look like?

If you were Charles Darwin, what would you imagine a far future to look like?

If you were Wendell Berry, what would you imagine a far future to look like?

Sometimes imagined futures are no more than that. Other times they are perceptive constructs built on what is right in front of us. We have been able to discover the astounding and unimaginable in nature and in our natural selves. We have created culture from dirt, stone and wood. 

And yet, at this time in history, what would you imagine the far future of humanity to look like?
