I believe we're too eager to see the future now and we face it unprepared. We've come a long way in some respects, we're a beautifully stupid, smart and funny race, but looking at the big picture, we're a bit of both, dust and water. We're not revolutionizing anything... we as a race were born, are growing old and are going to die. Meanwhile, we're only part of it all, but we don't care, we're having a good time living the present! And we will multiply and infest/infect as much as we can, of course. Until the story reaches an ending. As long as we're going, it doesn't really matter where to, because most of us as individuals don't really care how our actions may affect the whole of humankind or its future.
