WIP for an upcoming post about how futurity affects different types of not-knowing:

not-knowing ✹ 🍕-fan ✹ productive discomfort + idk ✹ Marseille / Singapore / Auvergne ✹ The Uncertainty Mindset (2020) ✹ now: vaughntan.org/now-ish

Why are actions outcomes causation and value the four Types you consider?
Interested to know the steps that led to that split
