In the future, after a tremendous effort to save the world from our mistakes, there will be sustainability. And we’ll all be quite bored by the whole idea.  I imagine the world will be a lot like Stockholm Sweden is now—entirely too perfect, yet filled with people who still manage to complain about something.

When I wander around that city I have an unsettling urge to start a riot. It’s too perfect, and soon this earth will be too perfect as well.  We’ll all wonder, “Where’s the suffering, where’s the new issue to tackle? Where’s the next big project?”

So we’ll do something amazing, something incredible… something that changes everything. It will start as it has already, a minute curiosity: the itch to explore the universe.  We’ll begin simply, with a weekend to mars, a day trip to the moon.  And then someone like Richard Branson will say “forget this planet; there’s a whole universe out there.”

And before you can recite the first four digits of the speed of light (2997) you’ll be bragging to your friends about how you scored a cheap space-flight to somewhere in deep space.  You’re off to start a new life—you adventurous spirit!

With that new pursuit we’ll all be on our way– to committing a whole new set of mistakes that will inevitably lead to the potential destruction of the universe.  But I’m sure we’ll solve those problems as well—we’re good at that kind of thing.

A taunt, a tease,

A kiss.

There’s the sizzle of a bacon hitting a hot frying pan, a single thought. And as it’s edges curl inward, while the fat runs, she decides– that it wasn’t such a good thought. And the frying pan is emptied, and a new thought is cracked open, to be pondered and scrambled. As it bubbles and pops, turns from opaque to clear, and steams into finality, the missions is understood: Cereal would be better.

…And as the spoon clinks against her teeth she wonders if pancakes would have been the superior choice.
