We follow the footsteps of our kin from the moment we take our first steps. We emerge glistening and wriggling and new with the path already laid before us. We know this. But what's to be gained from studying this history, if it will bear us forward regardless?
What do we seek to prise from the past? Do we imagine ourselves heirs due some forgotten treasure? Do we wish to humble ourselves: fill ourselves with our powerlessness as we are swept along the wave of history? Are we cartographers?
It's pretentious to claim that we could write the future as easily as the present. And so I struggle, my friends to synthesize what next step to take. What are we hoping to find out there on the Veldt?
