Who has a better record for predicting the future, Religious Prophets, Psychics, or Science Fiction writers?

(D) None of the above.

I’m not convinced any of them have ever predicted the future, though a lot of effort has been put into reinterpreting their words to make it look like they did.

None of them have been of much use in predicting the future but science fiction has always given us the clearest picture of the present.

@flutherother : Loving the 11111!

“Predicting” the future, not so much, but Science Fiction writers have been doing a damn fine job of extrapolating outcomes and anticipating technological advantages for a looong time, now.

Margaret Atwood. Not even the category, just her. Holy shit, the predictions she’s made about crazy-ass genetically engineered organisms has blown my mind.

Apparently door to door solicitors and infomercials! Both are always telling me how I will so much better off for that day when hail ruins my siding or my hair eventually turns gray and when that day comes that someone steals my identity! How do they know so much about me?? They must be psychic!

Me. I’ve actually had weird eerie things happen that I either predict or mentally cause. Like knowing the next song that will be played on the radio. And the other night I willed my crush to appear so we could chat outside of work and he did. Now we’ve been banging for a week. Crazy!
