Messing around with AI slopchurn for the linkedin... not too bad! “Fear is the mind-killer.” But so is false certainty. That quote is apropos reading RAND’s spicy (pun intended) post on decision-making under deep uncertainty—using Dune as a surprisingly apt metaphor. Just like Paul Atreides navigates shifting futures on the desert planet Arrakis, our job in water management is to steer through a landscape shaped by climate extremes, evolving regulations, and uncertain hydrology. At Met, we recently launched the implementation phase of our Climate Adaptation Master Plan for Water—an ambitious framework grounded not in prediction, but in adaptive management. The underlying protocols draw on robust decision-making (RDM), an approach developed by RAND researchers that flips the script from “predict and act” to “assess many futures and adapt accordingly.”

This isn’t just sci-fi theory. It's embedded in how we’re operationalizing resilience. We’re asking: What performs well no matter what the climate throws at us? How can we build institutional flexibility to evolve as we learn?This kind of thinking is increasingly essential across infrastructure, governance, and policy. We can’t afford to bet on one forecast anymore. Instead, we must build systems that learn, adapt, and endure. 🌀 Worth a read if you’re navigating your own desert of uncertainty: https://lnkd.in/g2k34Eqs 🌎 And here's how we’re applying it to climate resilience in SoCal: https://lnkd.in/gzjKQ69Q
