Again, the future is unwritten, and it is worth remembering that. Otherwise, we take the present for granted and that is effectively the same as expecting the present to be endlessly reproduced into the future. Why would anyone conclude that the future could be different, let alone better? This is the fundamental flaw in the realisms of our present, whether it be Ibrahim's sectarian realism or the much more globally widespread capitalist realism, to which we might add patriarchal realism, and so on. But these are real-isms. They are themselves beliefs that take a whole lot of variables as being constant. They are not. They change all the time, for better and for worse.
