Walking along the Embarcadero every day, I have long unobstructed views. I can look east across the bay, north toward the Ferry Building, south toward the ballpark. Sometimes I try to identify people and pick out details from 100 yards away or farther. Since I spend most of my time looking at screens from about two feet away, using my distance vision is a nice break. It feels like it does good things for my eyes and my brain.
It makes me think about using my distance vision through time. What future events can I see coming, not as fated events, but probabilistically, as likely outcomes? For the scenarios that are problematic, what can I do to mitigate those probable outcomes, or steer my fate in a more favorable direction?
