Someone should start a nostalgia-bait account that's just pictures of the present day, college kids playing volley ball on the beach in Santa Cruz, leafy New England villages, cub scouts roasting marshmallows around a campfire. It's all still happening, you just aren't doing it.

The people of the future each belong to one of the Model Families. they merge with their Model, talk to it everyday, they're socialized by it, raised by it. They provide more Data to the Model and help it take Action on the world; thus the Model optimizes against its competition
