The reason the future feels odd is because of its unpredictability. If the future didn't feel weirdly unexpected, then something would be wrong.
The future and eternity are two entirely different things.
I think as a species we're not designed to be able to think more than one year into the future - if that. Even trying to imagine one year from now makes most people feel like they've been given a huge boring chunk of homework that's too hard to do.
It also allows you to look as though you're not particularly from the present, future or past, either.
The thing about the future is that it never feels the way we thought it would.
If the history of resistance to Darwinian thinking is a good measure, we can expect that long into the future, long after every triumph of human thought has been matched or surpassed by 'mere machines,' there will still be thinkers who insist that th...
What I believe in touches many aspects of religious and spiritual thought. Mainly I'm influenced and inspired by the eastern yogi's aspect of mysticism, Which is, I think, the future.
When people get disillusioned and get insecure and content about the future, they tend to brood about what might have been.
The most important application of quantum computing in the future is likely to be a computer simulation of quantum systems, because that's an application where we know for sure that quantum systems in general cannot be efficiently simulated on a clas...
With the continued support of citizens who refuse to accept inaction at the expense of future generations, we will lead the world toward a sustainable future.

The future will use and dispose of the memories of people that we knew as history sees fit.
One of the things that has really hit home for me is that the world is how we decide it is going to be. Very few things just happen. They grow out of history, and they grow out of the present, and the more we can get a sense of how our actions lead i...
Neither a wise man nor a brave man lies down on the tracks of history to wait for the train of the future to run over him.
Our lifestyle, our wildlife, our land and our water remain critical to our definition of Wyoming and to our economic future.
I don't know what the future holds, but I have to be confident about it. It's just the way I am.
I really have to make sure that I'm staying true to who I am, and that I know my responsibilities to current N.B.A. players, to future N.B.A. players, to our past and retired N.B.A. Players.
The future? Like unwritten books and unborn children, you don't talk about it.
