Bit of a difference in that we can’t change the future, rather we help build the future.

If you’re building a tower of bricks, you don’t worry about changing a brick as you go if it’s broken. Not a big deal. But after the tower is built, removing a broken one might mean toppling the whole tower. And if people live in that tower now that it’s built, you better be concerned. But nobody yet lives in the tower we are currently building. Even if we do something to topple it, it only impacts the structure and not the people living in the structure (because no one lives there until we build it)
