Santorio's Counterfactual Triviality Result

I recently presented a manuscript of Paolo Santorio's where he extends Lewis's well-known triviality results to counterfactual conditionals. Similar material was covered in Paolo and Justin Khoo's NASSLI course Probabilities of Conditionals and Conditional Probabilities. I essentially walk through the details in my presentation. If you're inclined to work through the details of proofs - to make sure they work - then you might enjoy this excursion here
