Acharya Prashant challenges the assumption that the future of humanity is a separate problem to be solved through future-oriented planning. He argues that humanity is defined by its constant worry about the future, which leads to a neglect of the present. Since the future does not yet exist, any perceived problem within it is actually a reflection of the current direction and movement of the mind. He emphasizes that instead of traumatizing ourselves with extrapolations of future catastrophes, we must address the immediate actions and choices being made in the present.
