To manifest your ideal, finest, and best-case scenario, first you have to be brave and creative enough to imagine it.

Looks good to me; I can't imagine how some people think driving a giant SUV at speed on a highway is more Utopian.

People driving a giant SUV at speed on a highway sounds pretty Mad Max Dystopian to me, @EricLawton !

The: car=freedom idea has been reinforced via advertising.

During the part of 2020 where things had been shut down but some people wanted reopenings, I saw a dramatic increase in car ads that leaned heavily into car means freedom. The cruise companies also advertised like this.

Creative folks need to be re-empowered by the understanding that imagation is a huge source of power in the world. It isn't just entertainment.

@DoomsdaysCW @futurebird It looks fine to me; in fact, the stacks of books look much like my living room, but sadly I lack a fireplace. However, it could be better with a hot beverage on the table. Yes, I found the mug on the mantle, but how is one able to sip from it without disturbing the cat on the lap?
