Timeline of Failed Predictions (Part 1)

If there’s one thing I’ve learned recently it’s that people love predictions. Why this is the case I’m not sure. I think it’s partly because bad predictions can be really funny (i.e. with the passage of time they turn out to be hopelessly wrong) or because they are highly provocative (how could anyone intelligent possibly think such a thing?).

What I especially love about bad predictions and prophets of doom is that they both highlight the danger of extrapolating from a single trend or from seeing the world with a single lens. In other words they use critically false assumptions. They assume that things will always go on as they are or fail to foresee the impact of new events or innovations. There is also the problem of groupthink. As the writer JG Ballard once said: “If enough people predict something it won’t happen.”

There are obviously countless lists of failed predictions and especially regrettable quotations but most are just a jumble. A few people have grouped predictions by industry, which is quite interesting, but I’ve had a better idea.

Grouping predictions and comments chronologically is quite revealing about how our thinking has changed over time. It reveals assumptions, dominant paradigms and periods of intense technological change (the 1800s seem especially fruitful).

1500s

The end of the world etc. – Nostradamus, 1555. But lets face it, if you create 6,338 vague and usually undated prophecies you’ll eventually get something or other right. It’s like predicting that someone will die without telling them when. At least the Mayans gave us a date for the end of the world (2012 so get on with that to do list).

Trump campaign files libel suit against New York Times over Russia story

President Trump’s campaign is suing The New York Times in an effort to hold them accountable for repeatedly publishing fake news as a way to harm his reputation.

President Trump’s campaign manager, Brad Parscale, tweeted about the lawsuit, saying, “The Fake News is on notice!”

The Fake News is on notice!@realDonaldTrump’s campaign has filed a libel suit against the New York Times for publishing known falsehoods.

Every assault on the President is an attack on the great patriots who support him.

And Trump fights back!https://t.co/ucfRxLS1YB

The latest fake news article was published by The New York Times last week when they reported that the Russians were helping Trump to get re-elected.

Administration Insiders: Pentagon House Cleaning of Never Trumpers Looms

President Trump’s firing of John Rood, the top policy official at the Pentagon, is a sign the agency is not immune from an effort to purge from influential positions across the administration “snakes” who do not support the president, according to four current and former officials.

Rood had been on the chopping block for months, but his firing just last week amid a spate of other personnel changes shows that the president is finally ready to clean house at a department that has tried to distance itself from politics, they said.

“All of them are getting tossed,” a senior administration official told Breitbart News. “You’re either on the team or you’re out, everywhere.”

Political appointees like Rood serve the administration and at the president’s prerogative. However, it was well-known at the Pentagon and beyond that Rood was not a supporter of the president.

“Plenty of people from the transition and at the National Security Council knew Rood was not playing on the same team as the president when it came to policy or personnel,” a defense official told Breitbart News after his firing. “Complaints have made it to the highest levels at the White House for awhile now.”

At at least two meetings he held for staff, Rood spoke profusely and glowingly about the late Sen. John McCain, but did not once mention the president, according to the defense official.
