"I am not asking for utopia. In fact, a world where everything worked
perfectly, with no side effects, is its own kind of hell. I am a
protopian. I believe in progress, an incremental betterment with
corresponding downsides each year, inching toward a world that is
desirable despite its many flaws. A protopian future would generate
plenty of unexpected ills and unjust distributions, but overall the
greater net benefits would draw us to it."

The wonderful Kevin Kelly inspires us all with positive visions of the
future.

Via Daniel Suarez and Emmanuel Taban.
