A quotation from H. G. Wells

The Utopia of a modern dreamer must needs differ in one fundamental aspect from the Nowheres and Utopias men planned before Darwin quickened the thought of the world. Those were all perfect and static States, a balance of happiness won for ever against the forces of unrest and disorder that inhere in things. […] But the Modern Utopia must be not static but kinetic, must shape not as a permanent state but as a hopeful stage, leading to a long ascent of stages. Nowadays we do not resist and overcome the great stream of things, but rather float upon it. We build now not citadels, but ships of state.

H. G. Wells (1866-1946) British writer [Herbert George Wells]
A Modern Utopia, ch. 1, § 1 (1905)

Buffett: Never Bet Against America - All-In Summit

Morning! Time to see if this tea provides what it says on the box. #dynamism 🏃‍♀️💡💪

Against the background of a computer screen, a hand holds up a box of Twinings tea. It is labelled (in German) "Tatendrang" and (in French) "Plein de dynamisme", suggesting that the partialer will be rendered particularly dynamic and ready for action.
“Dynamism starts from the idea of voluntary activity, given by consciousness…: it has thus no difficulty in conceiving free force on the one hand and matter governed by laws on the other. Mechanism follows the opposite course. It assumes that the materials which it synthesizes are governed by necessary laws, and although it reaches richer and richer combinations, which are more and more difficult to foresee, and to all appearance more and more contingent, yet it never gets out of the narrow circle of necessity within which it at first shut itself up.”
—Henri Bergson, Time and Free Will: An Essay on the Immediate Data of Consciousness

October 19 - the birthday of Umberto Boccioni (1882-1916) - an influential Italian painter, sculptor, and theorist of the #Futurist movement, which aimed to break away from traditional artistic styles by celebrating modern life and technology. The movement emphasized speed, energy, dynamism, and progress over static representations.

The painting depicts a galloping horse through the use of contorted forms, bright colors, and rays of light that create an illusion of speed and motion. This work reflects Boccioni’s attempts to explore sculptural ideas and interactions between matter and space.
