The future is a dream

The future [...] is a dream. Some make the dream come true, others do not. My point is that the future is not actually real to us. If it were, how could we do such terrible things to others and our environment? And how could our government and our businesses act so blindly, denying the reality of other culturees and, in so doing, alienating the world because of cultural ineptitude?
