More realistic visions are super important, especially for people who arent as invested in far future concepts.

I think for the average person the super futuristic visions just feel like fantasy and dont really change how that person views their own life. More 'reasonable' visions actually feel achievable and motivate people to take action and feel like they can actually move towards a better future.

Thanks for sharing, it made me think more deeply about how how to bring more people into the community :)
