This is one of The Big Three Problems I came to LW hoping to find a solution for, but have mainly noticed that nobody wants to talk about it. Oh well.

  - How do you deal with uncertainty about the future (unpredictable chains of causality)? (what your above post was about)
  - What’s the right thing to do in life?
  Here are some of my previous posts on the topics.
  What links here?

    Your posts highlight fundamental problems that I have as well. Especially this and this comment concisely describe the issues.
    
    I have no answers and I don’t know how other people deal with it. Personally I forget about those problems frequently and act as if I can actually calculate what to do. Other times I just do what I want based on naive introspection.
