And, at its heart, is to be able to "imagine" not only one but many futures, and to see the patterns and connections between them, and to wonder "what if" we did x instead of y, and what kind of knowledge would help me sort through my decisions?" Of course, if you block access to messengers and phones and Skype and everything else, there isn't an argument for democracy either.
