Often I wish I could destroy the future as a concept, an idea. Next to opposable thumbs, I is likely that our greatest evolutionary advantage is the ability to take past experiences and synthysize prossible and probable futures. This is handy when you need to anticipate the actions of mamothes five times largerthan you or imagine up defensive measures while building a city or planning how to make your passions in life a successful enterprise. But the talent if humanity is also the singular cause of irrational fear, anxiety and paranoia. The anticpation and imagining of things that may never happen. I want to claw at the walls of my future, break apart the frame and structure and demolish the base foundation of it and live in the void that is left. I don't want it anymore. I have no use for it. I'm a carpenter now, if I need to I know how to rebuild it.
