The experience of a possible future helps to create insight about the lived possibilities of that future. An experience can lead us to understand why, in spite of the numbers, the future being discussed does not match our values, our preferences, the life we wish to be living. Perhaps the smell of the air as it might be someday can help understand the life experience of living in a polluted city far more powerfully than the mere numbers. Experience trumps data for impact.
