Paolo Soleri's Glossary of Terms |
The Future
It is a
semantic make-believe because the word is a sort of self-denial.
In order to be true to itself the future cannot exist.
What exists is the tide we call the
becoming which in some sort of coherent
fashion makes possible anticipatory scenarios. Perhaps the
word instead of future should be anticipation . The anticipation
of presents made on the basis of the memories
delivered by the past (upon demand or not). Physical memories, genetic memories
and cultural memories. |
