We live in amazing times with unlimited future possibilities for all of us [see photo].
However... the greatest possibilities belong to those whose imagination is bigger than our times. Elon Musk can imagine humans becoming Martians; but, more than that he is building the platforms and space vehicles Earthings will need to get themselves and their supplies to, and from, Mars.
At the individual level if you curate your wildest version of your natural imagination you will thrive in these times. Remember much of what is going on today is merely an echo from the past. When you live a long life you see a lot of stuff tumbling through a cycle just like your clothes in a dryer. Sometimes the cycle is slow, and other times, it is fast. But there are no new clothes in the dryer when you stop it. Today for those caught up in the cycle of our times you know there is entropy around because this is a closed system.
To escape the current cycle of life you need to imagine an open system wherein imagination is your wormhole to freedom. Some will imagine getting on rockets to Mars. Some will imagine living in isolation from your familial, colleagues, society, etc. Some will join Elon in his pursuit of a Space Adventure that can eventually transport humans to the Moon and Mars. Some will become authors who imagine alternative futures to the contemporary social order. Some will......
