Being the foolish optimist that I am, I’m firmly opposed to “everything has to be different for anything to get better” thinking. There are always:

(1) things we can do where we are, right now, in the moment,

(2) things we can do in the near-to-medium term, working both with and against existing systems, reshaping them, and

(3) distant destinations we can imagine in a far better, radically different hypothetical world.

All matter. Living with (3) alone is a kind of nihilism.
