DESCRIPTION:If I do X instead of Y\, will I get the outcome I want? What ab
 out in a new unseen situation? Making predictions alone is pointless\, one
  wants to act in the world. Furthermore one must act in situations that ar
 e similar but different to all past experience. The real underlying goal o
 f all decision making is really interventional generalisation: the ability
  to evaluate hypothetical choices in new unseen situations. Unfortunately 
 data science and statistics has a inordinate focus on observation and stat
 istical significance instead of intervention\, counter-factuals and genera
 lisation. Improve your modelling both practically and conceptually with th
 e mental tools presented in this talk.
