Enjoyed reading this, Johannes! I like how you pointed out the baked-in deterministic bias in German vs English. This is probably why I prefer the word "Fernblick" over "Zukunft" as it starts from the present looking outward.
It's also interesting how lawyers are conditioned to think in singular outcomes over ambiguous plurality (because their clients need clear answers). Legal foresight sounds like a fascinating niche in that regard.

I understand the appeal of “Fernblick,” but how can you prevent people from getting confused or constantly asking for clarification?
It’s not a bridge I’ve had to cross yet in practice, to be honest. But I’ll let you know when I do!
