How we feel about the evolving future tells us who we are as individuals and as a civilization: Do we search for "stasis" -- a regulated, engineered world? Or do we embrace "dynamism" -- a world of constant creation, discovery, and competition? These two poles ... increasingly define our political, intellectual, and cultural landscape. The central question of our time is what to do about the future. And that question creates a deep divide.
