Summary

This quote suggests that scientists and science fiction writers are among the few individuals who possess a broader perspective on the future. By engaging with scientific inquiry and speculating about future possibilities, these individuals have the ability to take into account long-term implications and envision potential scenarios that others may not consider. While others might be focused on short-term issues or immediate concerns, scientists and science fiction writers have the capacity to see beyond the present and contemplate the long-term consequences and possibilities of their work or imagination.
