Ross, that's a very interesting question and i'll try to talk about it using
a particular experience.
recently, i wrote a document about the city Conquista , in Bahia, Brasil.
This book is relationed to the XXI Local Agenda and it is divided on three
parts. The last of then is compose of four designs of future, from
differents points of view: optimist, realist, pessimist and sustenable.
To imagine how nature would be 20 years from now is difficult because what
we did to nature has no cure, or way back, sometimes. Here, for example, we
have lost many birds and trees and people with our intent to explore earth
only for the money and political power. i think that future denatured on
futuristic films and books, by the way, justify the earth and people
exploration in the courrent days.
when i was working on the XXI Agenda document, i had to make some
descriptions that wound't be again. and i confess that i almost denature the
future as well.
Murilo.

o que hoje não for feito,
e nem um dia só perder se
deve.
Um homem resoluto, do
possível
lança mão com ardor, fugir
não o deixa.
E na empresa prossegue, assim
lhe é força."
