I think people just interpret "future" very differently. For some "future" does include your second and third paragraph, since it is also a potential causality down the line. For others, it's only first paragraph example. Future for some is a branching tree, for others just a linked list.
- Ensorceled 4y agoThis is a good analogy .. many of the comments in this thread that are confusing 2nd order thinking with long term thinking are clearly just thinking of iterating 1st order thinking along the time line.
- CrumpetDiagonal 4y agoI popped in to say much same. But the statistician in me thinks about it such that 2nd order thinking and longer term impacts often coincide due to the time it may take 2nd order impacts to play out. But in some systems, 2nd order impacts happen on short timeframes. So I’d describe it as a correlation between 2nd order and long term thinking.
