The power to think ahead in a reckless age
Summary
In the title, a reckless age that the speaker says means at the present time. The technology is growing, and we believe strongly that we have lots of resources and good forecasts. Thus we have mistakes.

In the first place, we have the power that our good ancestors gave to think ahead in such an era. We impair and forget it now. It’s designed unconsciously because people seek benefits only in the short term, education tends to just memorize not to think well, investment is mistaken in the first place, and we really believe that our date can predict in the future exactly.
However, those seem to be wrong. We have another tool for foresight and it must help us imagine the future by using the memory of the past, so hearing a voice from the past. It has a bigger worth than the data on the computer. It’s our own inspiration as humans. Due to the reckless age, hearing a voice from the past.
