Thinking about Not-knowing #9: The Fog of Time

Join Vaughn Tan in building a better relationship with the not-knowing that surrounds us.

In episodes 6-8, we discussed how not-knowing arises in relation to actions, outcomes, causation, and value. Episode 9 is about how futurity affects not-knowing. Our present actions affect future outcomes, but the actions we can take and the outcomes we pursue also change over time.

We’ll talk about how futurity changes not-knowing by providing opportunities to:

1. Learn about new actions and new outcomes.
2. Change norms about value over time.
3. Respond to changes in the scarcity of resources.

This is part of a monthly Interintellect series about not-knowing.
