What I gather from the brief excerpt:
We suffer from the delusion that whatever may come to pass, there will always be an accompanying happenstance to follow, i.e. "there's always a tomorrow" or because most choose to believe and act upon forces that are yet to be proven and therefore, hold no merit in the lives we lead now, we are exercising futility.
What I garner the critique is advocating is to compel 'tomorrow to come today', and actively shape our being in a grounded reality in an effort to understand that by simply working may and will not be enough to foster true understanding, and it is a mere excuse to halt or delay what is necessary for human growth.
I could be contradicting myself though, in that sentiment. Leaving out the sentence that may hinder your grasp on what is being expressed, do you have at all an idea at what the overall aim is and what Tuttle is conveying?
