Progress takes us away from the "here and now," "speaks only in the future tense" and fails to offer us an "inhabitable present." But in granting significance to the process of persevering in our existence, we might again find meaning in our everyday existence. Le Guin borrows this idea from Claude Levi-Strauss. In fact, Elliott notes that in Levi-Strauss's terms, utopia is, if not a "cold," at least a "cool" society, almost unimaginable to us who live in societies "superheated by progress." In his essay "The Scope of Anthropology," Levi-Strauss proposes a possible future integration of our "hot" societies with elements of "cold" societies. Levi-Strauss's proposal to limit our "historical" temperature complements many of Le Guin's thoughts on the significance of persevering in our existence as a "rhythmic, interactive and unstable" process. She poses a radical question: what if utopia was right here and right now? Here, she is not simply being perverse; nor is she suggesting that we should attempt to return to a previous mode of existence; rather, her question draws attention to how we have "very little sense of where we live" and "where we are 'right here right now.'"
