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.

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.
