Wish there was a way to record mental state directly like with neural imaging hardware, for big news days, so you can truly compare before/after and try to get into the same headspace. This is one of those irreversible one-way doors we’re about to walk through.

can't go back in time after, but could send messages forward now
• imagine possible future outcome(s)
• write reaction(s) now
• wait
• open your time capsule

Idea: preregistration for opinion articles
before election, opinion writers submit articles for BOTH if "A wins" and if "B wins"
whichever happens gets published, but links at the bottom to the counterfactual article (so readers can check for just-so narratives, contradictions)

Events like this seem like superposition ex ante - both outcomes have mental life. Ex post there is only one outcome. So I am not sure ex ante/post are comparable.
