Reply #18: The future contains a spectrum of probabilities

[GliderGuider]

We cannot know which one will be realized until it happens (i.e. until we observe it and the wave function collapses, in quantum-physics-speak). In our Newtonian billiard-ball world, however, some outcomes can be seen to have much higher probability than others, especially as they draw closer and their surrounding context is better understood.

My own hope for the future is rather esoteric as well. It involves a spontaneous metamorphosis of the human world-view, catalyzed by a change in the global noetic milieu as the crisis changes our physical environment (I know, most people say "What?"). Such dreams are deeply personal, though, and rarely transfer well to the broader public. Good luck with yours, I hope at least some aspects of it are realized.
