Privilege the future..................

This is to say nothing other than that the future can be mad better if the proper sacrifices take place in the present.  No other animal has ever figured this out, and it took us untold hundreds of thousands of years to do it.  It took further eons of observation and hero-worship, and then millennia of study, to distill that idea into a story.  It then took additional vast stretches of time to assess that story, to incorporated it, so that we now can simply say, "If you are disciplined and privilege the future over the present you can change the structure of reality in your favour."
