Given a sufficiently long timeline all predictions breakdown (see prior comment on attenuation and entropy and Nostradamus)

And on shorter timescales you aren't really predicting anything of consequence. You're just assuring all that effort trying to predict Apple's next move (for example) keeps Apple itself alive in the public debate whether they do the thing or not; they'll have missteps but our 24/7 fetishizing of what they'll do next, overall, just distracts us from our own lives and boosting the lives of the mega rich

You really don't seem to have a grasp of how gamified and propagandized you are

> just distracts us from our own lives and boosting the lives of the mega rich

So you’re saying we are being distracted from boosting the lives of the mega rich, which we should get back to doing
