We have entered a new temporality, in the Anthropocene. This is marked both by an acceleration and by a shift. Not only does the future of the human adventure appear uncertain, but it seems as though it could be time-limited (our days are numbered) and, so to speak, distorted. Just as it is not certain that various plant and animal species will have time to adapt to new climatic conditions, it is not certain that we will know how to inhabit this new temporality—very different to the one that allowed humanity to emerge and evolve over hundreds of thousands of years. Yet, while, more than ever, we should be preparing for the future, it seems, in Westernized societies, we are continuing to invest ever more heavily in the immediate present. Everything contributes to this attitude: among other things, individualism, consumerism, the propensity for boundless enjoyment, and the virtualization of existence. It is as though we had all the time in the world (as though time itself belonged to us) and had lost the ability to wait for anything. Perhaps we have also internalized the idea that we can no longer expect anything good from the future and that, therefore, it is better to enjoy the present time.
