Atmospheric conditions on Earth limit visibility on a perfect day to less than 200 miles.
Time works the same way.
When we’re doing the same thing, in the same way, our perception of what will happen next can feel crystal clear.
Plant some apple seeds in your backyard, and you’re pretty sure you’ll have an apple tree in a decade (not an oak or maple) but it’s hard to be sure exactly what it’s going to look like.
The most useful work we create causes a change to happen. And the more profound the change, the less predictable it is.
If you need perfect visibility into the future, you’re limiting the impact and power of your work.
