It’s not so much people arguing against this as being confused about how to explain backwards causation. So like tying up loose ends.
Fair enough. I do like the idea that counterfactuals are just as reasonable (and useful) for the past as for the future—it shouldn’t matter whether it didn’t happen or it won’t happen.
Well I’ve got another post arguing backwards causation isn’t necessarily absurd. But we don’t need to depend on it.
