I think it's important not to be too sure abot what of the future one is "seeing". It's easy to be confidently wrong and one may find countless examples and quotes where people made this mistake.

Even if you don't think you can change something, you shouldn't be sure about that. If you care about the outcome, you try things also against the odds and also try to organize such efforts with others.

(I'm puzzled by poeple who don't see it that way but at the same time don't find VC and start-ups insanely weird...).
