People, in my experience, tend to respond to predictions very well. These, however, become tricky to pull off. It is very easy to be wrong, and facts to prove you were right are dependent on factors outside your control.

Twice I was noted for my own analytical prowess. First when I called the end of a manga series years in advance. My thread was even locked as a troll thread. People don't understand Taoist symbolism (wait… Q… You knew I would catch that, didn't you?)

Second was more personal, when a friend traveling here was warned of the possibility of social collapse. I would have met her at the airport with survival gear had I known when and where she would be arriving. That was before Ferguson. Granted, it didn't take a whole lot of analysis on my part - but it was contrary to the expectation and my warning was accurate.

My insane babbling about North Korea back when Q first started dropping … Is now not so insane.

The thing I had to learn long ago was that people who can see beyond the face value of things are always insane. In the world of the blind, the one eyed man is insane. Until all other explanations have been eliminated and leave the insane man as the one who was right all along.

That doesn't necessarily mean to act insane (unless that is just the impression you want to give for the extra lulz) or that the predictions need to be insane. The simple suggestion that DJT and KJU were far more on the level with each other and some evidence to show it in advance of the summit grabbed some attention. "Maybe those 4chan trolls are onto something…"

Because everything that isn't Twitter or Facebook is the dark web 4chan to most people.
