(The following is a general comment not directed at you OP)
The human trait of disconnected intellect always fascinates me. People will predict something very publicly, never shut up about it, and then loudly proclaim “I told you so” when it happens, and then I say “well, how did you act on this knowledge to benefit yourself” and I always get crickets.
It’s like people are too afraid to actually commit because if they are wrong it would imply their world view is wrong (and the intellectual gap between them and their couch is narrowing) but if they are right they can ignore that little inconvenient thing about their predictions having survivable bias and walk around with a smug sense of satisfaction. I have always thought it extremely odd how someone can proudly exclaim their predictions and then have nothing to show for them, humans confuse me a lot.
