I was just reading a thread started back in 2005 about aliens coming in 2010 and it was really informative on the way people think about the future,
and how they word their posts when they predict things that seem so far off, and I was thinking how incredible it would be to have an area in the
Predictions forum where predictions that have come to date are organized/discussed. Is there something like this already?
If not, has anyone thought about starting the area up? Maybe divided into years or by topic? I'd definitely be willing to help search for old threads
if needed! I really think analysis of past predictions is valuable. It quickly puts things into perspective... or it did for me. (Makes you go into
'big picture' perspective I suppose).
So many people are so very sure that X or Y will happen, but then when X and Y don't happen, those people just kinda forget the whole thing, and I
think that it would be good to acknowledge that the predictions were false, instead of just chucking it all aside and starting a new prediction.
Also, it might cut down on the frivolous prediction threads if people knew that their predictions weren't just gonna disappear, but would be set aside
and checked out later.
Edit: Uh - Oh, I think I just found an older thread asking the same question! Yikes. I apologize if this has been hashed out before. I just got really
excited about going over old predictions and jumped out with this thread.!
