I think what the history of prognostication really shows is that some bad prognosticators were the best marketers and got listened to. There was always someone who got the forecast right....but that guy got stoned or beheaded.
Two guys can see the future. They see bad bad things and know the details. The first one says , "Hey! all you people must stop what you are doing. You will kill all your great great grand children even though you are becoming wealthy. "
Two shots ring out. First prognosticator dead. Second prognosticator loudly proclaims the future is so bright , I will invent sunglasses.
