Contributors to this volume on nonkilling futures were asked to envision as clearly as they can the crucial features of a nonkilling world. The resulting diversity of approaches are visions, not blueprints or orders. And so, as we do move forward, learning more, needing more, incorporating more people with different ideas into our work, we will need to alter our visions even as we move toward them. That does not render the visioning process superfluous. To the contrary, without a clear vision, we cannot be sure about what our first moves should be since we are not specifically heading anywhere. As Yogi Berra might have said, "if you don’t know where you are going, chances are you’ll end up someplace else."
