1. Imagining
Futures

10. The future is not a result of choices among
alternative paths offered by the present, but a place
that is created--created first in the mind and will,
created next in activity.
The future is not some place we are going to, but
one we are creating.
The paths are not to be found, but made, and the
activity of making them, changes both the maker
and the destination.
John Schaar, futurist
