Florian U. Jehn<p>This month's post is about the hypothetical. Counterfactuals help us understand the world we live in by highlighting what could have gone differently and why. They also allow us to explore potential futures. For example, by examining a past catastrophe, we can ask: "What would have made this worse?" This allows us to better prepare for future challenges. 🌍🔍📖 <a href="https://existentialcrunch.substack.com/p/counterfactual-catastrophes" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">existentialcrunch.substack.com</span><span class="invisible">/p/counterfactual-catastrophes</span></a></p><p><a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/counterfactual" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>counterfactual</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/LivingLiteratureReview" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LivingLiteratureReview</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/future" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>future</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/foresight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>foresight</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/forecasting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>forecasting</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/storylines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>storylines</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/ClimatCchange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimatCchange</span></a></p>
