*Okay, I want some genius with some spare time to read this with great care and tell me what's wrong with it, because it's awesomely weird and so yet agonizingly close to making an important new kind of sense.
*How could this become, like, more "Great Idea," and less like a Favela Chic TEDx talk that includes some costumes and paper architecture? Is there even a way to get there from here? What would that look like? How would you know you were getting there?

"To respond to the greater complexity and uncertainty of our world, the Age of the Inpossible proposes a different framework for thinking based on ‘21st century science’. It takes a probabilistic perspective where events need to be co-authored, rather than controlled through top-down design blueprints. It is exploratory rather than didactic in its methods, being grounded in the theory of networks, relationships and flows. These qualities are never really ‘fixed’ and are always under construction. The Age of the Inpossible proposes that ‘the future’ does not actually exist as a deterministic point in time. Rather, the visionary ideas proposed in aspiring to ‘future’ events serve as avatars, rather than goals. These are flexible proposals that can continue to evolve and respond to changing circumstances and ideas. (((
