Dear Humans,

You can’t predict the future. But you can prepare for it. Because the things that will be most important in the future are the same things that are most important now: learning about the world, taking care of the people around us, and leaving things better than we found them. 

Of course, we don’t always do those things now. But it’s not because our fear of an uncertain future keeps us from doing it. It’s because we’re humans and we’re far, far from perfect. 

And maybe instead of predicting the future, we ought to be more focused on creating the future. And living our lives towards that future. And doing those things that have served humans (imperfect though we are) well throughout history–learning about their world, taking care of the people around them, and leaving things better than they found them.

Sincerely,

Mr. Curt
