Okay, starting today, and for the next week or so, the webbots have predicted a California earthquake of significant proportions (see my prior post).
This is it! If we see this happen, I'm going to begin paying real attention to these webbot predictions. We can Hari Seldon the rest of history (I think that unlikely).
And if not, well, then we can chalk up another false prophet to the long list. But what I think is most likely is some event which will be interpreted as fulfilling the prediction. Then they have the benefit of always being right.
The only problem with that kind of prophesy is that you only know you were right after the thing has happened, and what good is it if you have to wait until after the event to find out what you were predicting?
Anyway, I really want to see how this one turns out.
