Speculative Bhumics is the utopian half of Bhumics, the part that imagines planetary futures going further than greening capitalism. Positive Bhumics looks at the world as it is; this half gets to dream, and I borrowed the license from Thomas More.

In my words
"We must also embrace Speculative Bhumics."
