Rationale:

The hazard today is no longer that the future we imagine is too ideal, and therefore likely to encourage heedless revolutionary zeal and violence. It is rather that we have become paralyzed determinants about what is coming. Like TV commercials and globalization and consumerism on the Web, the future is not annoying but inevitable, something that just happens, usually much faster than we'd like. We are in danger or losing the idea that a future is created, bit-by-bit, out of our political desires and choices. That's why we need positive visions to balance the fashionably cynical ones, need them now more than ever.
