 +I think that a complete absence of imagining the future would be a dire thing indeed, but I don't really see that happening. There are at any given time I think relatively few really interesting imaginings of the future going on. There's always quite a bit of rote imagining of the future, put together from bits and pieces of other imaginings. Historically in any period, there isn't much original work. And I would assume that today somewhere the work is being done - we may not always be aware of it at the time of its writing.

 The future is simply a landscape defined by two natural (and non-temporal) boundaries. One separates the currently infeasible from the feasible, and the other separates the normalized from the un-normalized. The Field is manufactures out of the feasible-and-normalized. We call it the present. The future is simply a landscape defined by two natural (and non-temporal) boundaries.
