As for the future, most of those who talk and write about it do so as if it already existed
and as if we were being inexorably carried toward it, like passengers on a train moving toward
a place they had not seen and could only wonder about. This is of course not true.
The future does not exist. It has not been made. It is made only as we make it.
The question we should be asking ourselves is what sort of future do we want?

The test of intelligence [is] not how much we know how to do, but how we behave when we don’t know what to do. Similarly, any situation, any activity, that puts before us real problems, that we have to solve for ourselves, problems for which there are no answers in any book, sharpens our intelligence.
