Our singular foresight created civilization and sustains society. It usually lifts our spirits, but it\u2019s also the source of most depression and anxiety, whether we\u2019re evaluating our own lives or worrying about the nation. Other animals have springtime rituals for educating the young, but only we subject them to \u201ccommencement\u201d speeches grandly informing them that today is the first day of the rest of their lives.<\/p>\n<p>A more apt name for our species would be Homo prospectus, because we thrive by considering our prospects. The power of prospection is what makes us wise. Looking into the future, consciously and unconsciously, is a central function of our large brain, as psychologists and neuroscientists have discovered \u2014 rather belatedly, because for the past century most researchers have assumed that we\u2019re prisoners of the past and the present.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Opinion | We Aren\u2019t Built to Live in the Moment via NYT<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2017\/05\/19\/opinion\/sunday\/why-the-future-is-always-on-your-mind.html\">https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2017\/05\/19\/opinion\/sunday\/why-the-future-is-always-on-your-mind.html<\/a><br \/>\nvia Instapaper<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div id=\"posthaven_gallery[1187601]\" class=\"posthaven-gallery\">\n<p class=\"posthaven-file posthaven-file-image posthaven-file-state-processed\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"posthaven-gallery-image\" src=\"https:\/\/phaven-prod.s3.amazonaws.com\/files\/image_part\/asset\/1915999\/juogcfpGPDejymoTPEcNAh1gbs0\/medium_image2.JPG\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"posthaven-file posthaven-file-image posthaven-file-state-processed\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"posthaven-gallery-image\" src=\"https:\/\/phaven-prod.s3.amazonaws.com\/files\/image_part\/asset\/1915998\/eFu8eu__BZPJaqiy0U-QMVAyOHQ\/medium_image1.JPG\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>Save<\/span><span>Save<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div>\n<div>\"Lo que mejor distingue a nuestra especie es una capacidad que los cient\u00edficos apenas empiezan a apreciar: Contemplamos el futuro.
