    Isn't the answer obvious? It isn't about ideology, it's about being able to discern the right thing to do at the right time, then organizing your friends to do just that. This doesn't depend on a president, or a government. Understanding the past to see the influences on how we got here is important, but blaming the past is a waste of energy. Give children the tools to be able to think on their own. Teach them about about "futures perspective", and show them how to assess the long term consequences of their actions. They have the power to affect their own futures, through their own actions. That includes the power to change government, and to get people to act in their own long-term self-interest.

    Yes, it is called teaching towards the test!

    I can describe the future. We all can. How accurately? Well on a scale where 1 equals Isaiah and 10 equals Jules Verne and X equals Plato and Y equals Harlan Ellison, I'd say we can predict the future about as well as we ever could. Folks will have babies and do pointless labor and write stuff and have crises and die.

    Of course it's not the inability to describe the future, it's more the lack of expectations and ideology that's missing which makes describing the future impossible.

    Just how sad is this?

    I'm not sure we could ever clearly describe the future. The fact is we lack a compelling ideology to give us a future we desire.
