Few generations are granted the chance to change the course of civilization; nearly all are entrapped to travel a well-established path along which the future is let happen rather than created. Not so for current generations who must quickly depart from the past. In doing so, all will enjoy the rare opportunity to use more powerfully than ever before the two characteristics that most distinguish humans from all else that lives: our unlimited creativity and our sense of moral purpose.We owe our descendants an opportunity to inhabit a planet more benevolent than the one we enjoyed (alas, enjoyed a bit too much).
