Show Notes

Even if you are not a science fiction author, you are now living in a science fictional world, where your daily life is unthinkable.

If you were to meet yourself from four months ago, and give updates, even in vague terms about today, you would not believe what you are hearing.

However, in a new environment, where extreme variability makes scenarios with low probability become real, being able to anticipate, and potentially to plan for the unthinkable is a valuable skill.
