#Backcasting
The notion that the political economy theory behind IRA failed because IRA did not prevent the election of Donald Trump is just an *insane* piece of backcasting. Insane.

Is the opposite of forecasting backcasting, aftcasting, or asscasting

Nature positive is a big topic at #ESAus2024, across many different sessions.

Here Matthew Selinske reflects on how we can achieve NP agriculture... presenting results of backcasting from a range of different groups to identify what steps are needed to create future change.

Dette er backcasting for et enda mer bilavhengig samfunn, akkurat som forventet fra "ansvarlige" myndigheter.
Farvel, Hordfast! Nå må alle bli enige om å legge dette prosjektet i skuffen for godt. Å bruke 54 milliarder på å bygge en broforbindelse på en strekning hvor det i dag fraktes ca 3000 biler i døgnet er fullstendig galematias i en verden der vi må prioritere hardt. www.bt.no/politikk/i/d...
Hordfast-plan på 7000 sider klar – ny prislapp på gigantprosjektet
Ny prislapp er 53,7 milliarder kroner.

You are, of course, quite right

An unattested vasconic language that I have now 'resurrected' based on feels, my overactive imagination, and some sketchy backcasting from later material

And which I now enthusiastically speak with my two mates, in my shed

This is a really great discussion about decision making models with Dr. Peter Attia and Annie Duke. Just top notch conversation. open.spotify.com/episode/57Rb...

Wrong. We do science in all sorts of domains that cannot be fully replicated via experiments. For example, we can develop climate models, prove them out using backcasting, then test their accuracy going forward. But we can't create a "test planet" with climate for an experiment. Models suffice.

it feels like people want to take a victory lap based on results-based backcasting. it's easy to say that people were wrong to be concerned about something that has low likelihood of succeeding _after_ the success has occurred!

Rather than backcasting PPP Pollhalla, have we forecasted for 2025?

Ich habe mich mal mit Zukunftsforschung beschäftigt und fand die Methode Backcasting ziemlich spannend.

Rapporten anbefaler i stedet en "decide-and-provide"-modell – eller backcasting – hvor man først bestemmer hvilke samfunnsmål man ønsker å oppnå – og så planlegger for det."

If you have a little common sense, you'll realize that backcasting is a process of encoding and retrieving data, i.e., compression.

So I’ve locked backcasting by making sure you can’t track your future plan of the cast by broadcasting ray waves of the lighttypes of the sufficient veracity who has taught me you don’t use a fucking gun to kill you just get them to goosestep into their own foreheads by putting the fleur_de-list…

Nyt tällä hetkellä se polttava kysymys näissä backcasting skenaarioissa on: montako miljardia annetaan globaalisti kuolla huonosti hillittyyn ilmastonmuutokseen? 1 ? 3? 5?

The very thing (among others) we have been discussing in GEOG3180 Management of Wilderness & Global Ecosystems @universityofleeds.bsky.social backcasting from Robert Crumb’s final 3 panels in his “A short history of America” to today. Challenging stuff.
