Futurism and Procrastination

“The idea of the future, pregnant with an infinity of possibilities, is more fruitful than the future itself”.

The possibility space of the futures funnel is one dripping with hope. Not simply the hope of a great future. But the ecstatic hope of many great futures.

One path into the future amongst infinite possible futures.

I've felt the heavy weight of procrastination when confronted with career decisions. Of course, this is a strategy of emotional avoidance - an attempt to avoid the psychological distress that accompanies the acknowledgement that my own future is a finite thing.

Futurism offers a reprieve of sorts.

Exploring and documenting the possibility space of the future, keeps close contact with all of these many great futures.

And delays commitment. For now.
