Kevin Kelly’s Protopia

From Protopia by Kevin Kelly:Dystopia leans into problems; utopia leans into progress; protopia leans into problems and progress in unison. It acknowledges there is no progress without problems, and problems propel progress. Dystopia runs on fear, and utopia runs on faith. Protopia runs on facts: the fact of real problems, and the facts of real progress. Most people have no issue with facing up to the problems we are creating today, but they take issue with the idea of real progress. They can believe half of the world is rotten but have trouble seeing the 1% better difference. This is where a long view can help.
