This is the sort of weather today, where I am in the palm of Michigan, that almost allows one to relax one's guard enough to dream about the future that should be, regardless of the present day that is.
A lot of talk has been set in stone about how this generation wants a carbon-free energy paradigm, - which is true - , but not so much about why, or what that means for the intellectual imagination, about what would constitute a future good enough to call a practical ideal.
And I think it is simply this, insofar as a reason goes. To imagine a creative society, of intellectuals, accessible to each other remotely through the internet, but with no coercion by the structure of the built environment or energy paradigm to interact with each other in society - but to be convinced only by the quality of each other's company and intellectual creations to indulge in unforced pro-social proclivities - this is nearly perfect among the practical possibilities of human organization.
