In a time when new is everything, there is no history. Without a sense of history, there is no sense of the future in anything more than the immediate sense.
Thinking about anything a thousand years from now seems whacky, but we accept the "ancient" history of more than a thousand years ago. Most major religions are based on beginnings more than one or two thousand years ago.
It is strange that we can accept the ancient past, but we burn-up our future with lefty-green-conservationist looking a whole 100 years in the future and being thought of as extremists.
