In a post from a couple days ago I made a few comments on what the future could look like.
It got me thinking more about prediction vs. direction.
Predicting the future is really hard—particularly the precision part.
But when making our plans, predicting is less important than knowing the direction of travel.
There are clues as to where the world is moving. We may not know the coordinates for longitude or latitude, but knowing that it’s better to travel east than west, or north rather than south, may be all that’s needed to choose the right next step.
