We live in this idea of an 'Official future.'

Well that's GM, so it makes sense that the official future would have a lot of cars in it.

Futures with an 's', opens that up again and says, "Well, there are many possible futures that could happen."

We may not all run companies that can feed the world or build spaceships, but it's really our behaviors and our values that we have to start changing.
可能不需要人人都经营着能够养活世界或建造宇宙飞船的公司，但我们必须开始改变我们的行为和价值观。
