Newton’s novocaine: sharing the spoils of a non‐linear future

Abstract

When we inhabit time and space, how can foresight be other than a parallax view? Not only is the ground shifting beneath our feet, but our culture colours our perspective. We replace our imagination with computers and program them with data that is often skewed. We begrudge paying our taxes yet offload risk to the public sector. For the environment in particular, the stakes have never been higher. Faith in the future means we all jump together.
