Carlsmith’s vision isn't focused on specific technological advancements or societal changes. Instead, it's centered on a fundamental transformation in our understanding and perception. He beautifully describes a future where we see "less dimly" than we do now.
Quoting Corinthians, Carlsmith says, "Now we see as a mirror dimly, then we will see face to face. Now we know in part, then we will know in full.” He envisions a future where humanity has a deeper, more lucid understanding of ourselves, each other, and the universe.
The future he dreams of is one of unfiltered clarity, where we perceive and interact with the world around us in a more direct and honest way. It's a future where we meet each other and the universe, in some sense, "face to face".
