It's this puzzling paradox that Daniel Lopatin understands. Turn on the TV at any moment, and you won't have to wait long before you learn that the "future is now" and that "things will never be the same." You are being sold the nostalgia for lost futures. A seemingly obvious observation, but its a trap that we are all constantly falling into.
It is always the present, and things will change, but it will never be the future. Being able to observe the uninhibited dreams of the people of the past, and how their hopes didn't come to fruition. Standing there in that moment, one gains great perspective.
Inevitably, time passes and the future is nothing like what it was expected to be. An aesthetic is born out of that, and becomes the prevalent view of what the future can and will be. There is hope for all the things one can't even begin to imagine. The world looks to the future and tries to imagine all the possibilities.
