We cannot imagine the 11th generation because we have not practiced making up real persons with skin, bones, loves, struggles, and strangenesses. And faces. To a lesser extent but still large, this lack of trying accounts for saying “There might not be an 11th generation:” it is a failure to imagine well. Did not someone call us to envision the faces of those who never will be?
There is a touch of failure of courage. To meet the unexpected face.
