One of the greatest signs of human progress is that now we know enough facts to fill our pocket almanacs with them instead of making up prognostications.
One could argue that it’s a sign of the human condition that we’ve been able to compensate for the new technology with an even greater tendency to prognosticate.
The tendency to prognosticate without any real evidence will increase in the future.
Actually the outlook for prognostication is-- wait let me check-- it's "ask again later". Huh, oh well.
