You want to legitimize your stance? Make a prediction now and compare it to results later.
Exactly. I have long contended that our previous visitors to this table, who’ve since departed, would continually lob bombs full of often ridiculous allegations and never return to the topic when the bomb turned out to be a dud. Thus, my constant request to get our old Chicago friend TT to place a wager on some of his predictions. And, I wasn’t even goading him to bet on the really outlandish ones, just the normal, run of the mill nonsense.
My theory, yet to be disproven, is these sorts developed their way of interpreting data in an environment where wrong judgements and predictions had no consequences. There’s a reason why the phrase “it’s academic “ exists. It a classroom environment, a bar stool, a camping trip with a few beers, where outlandish observations are made with very little foundational truths and zero review of how far from reality the predictions actually were.
I’ll be glad to go back and hash statements and predictions I’ve made in the past. I missed on my predictions how the Democratic nomination turned out. I figured Biden would figuratively (and perhaps literally) be dead by now. I thought Kamala Harris would have won this. Boy was I wrong. And I know why now, I understand where I went wrong with her.
Anyway, our Aussie friend post dozens of articles and makes statements that are nonsense, but hey, that’s what makes this interesting.
