Beautiful piece! This was obviously written in the future and posted by thought to our timeline. Is Substack still a thing in the future? Just curious.

Great work! Always love your work on philosophy x future.

What stood out to me was assuming we can reach your 31st century. I think we will because of these sources of inspiration that spark our collective humanity.

Maybe I’m looking at this all wrong, I don’t think we can assume all technologies will solve problems in the way they’re intended to along the way to your Near Future. If we get there, we’ll have avoided any number of catastrophic events like nuclear fallout, AI something, climate disaster.

To avoid these catastrophes and reach post-scarcity, we will need to rely on these sources of inspiration. That very requirement will preserve the habit of creativity, breaking horizontally, and keep generations inspiring the next ones.

It won’t go away. God I hope not.
