François Chollet on Twitter: "When checking the news, often struck by how we care too much about the past (as it lingers in the present) and not enough about the future. The stories we tell mostly look backward, not forward"

  Moreover, we talk about the past, like we talk about the future, with a lot of confidence, despite having incomplete information about it.

  Maybe because we are programmed to learn, and learning is as you know much better than me done by looking backward..

  Probably has a lot to do with the expectation that news is objective. Only the past is a matter of fact.

  Sometimes we talk about projects going on that will be amazing when complete, like the NBN, and construction or future tech with flashy renderings. But yes, mostly it’s an update on ongoing narratives, as that slots on top of the existing mental models people have of the world.
