title: Does evolving the future preclude learning from it?
abstract: Despite its considerable length, this article proposes a theory of human behavioral science that eschews half the evidence. There is irony in the title "Evolving the Future" when the featured examples of intentional change represent procedures that build slowly on the past. Has an opportunity been missed, or is an evolutionary perspective simply incompatible with learning from the future?
