But what they frequently missed was that Gene wasn't really painting the future, but what a possible future might look like if we put away our hatred of one another. If we devoted as much resource to improving our lives as we do in ending them, there really is nothing we couldn't accomplish. He tried to convey to his audiences that even though people do bad things, we are capable of doing great goods. It's still an impossible dream for many to believe in these days, but the message still holds as much water now as it did then.
