"Futurist" perspectives range from the absurd to the nihilistic to the truly Modern.
The "Year Zero" point of view is particularly odious, requiring a ridiculous conviction that erasure of all human history, combined with an utter faith in one or another asinine views of "human nature" as essentially "good", will produce an egalitarian Utopia.
The Modern Futurist perspective is simple: Elevate objective possibility into existential reality.
