For more details, check out my blog. What I don't say there is: it's not better concepts of the future you need, but concepts of a better future. Personally, I believe the less specific your vision of the future, the more fulfilling it will be. This is because "your" idea of the future is just a story you are making up about a state of affairs where "the wider you" is more generally satisfied. You could try having two quite specific, but somewhat different, concepts of the future. This gives your storyteller three interesting jobs to do: construct the two different stories, of course, and also construct a third (abstract? composite? true??!) story that underlies them both (Hegel rocks!). The anwer’s yes!
