I guess my parent comment was too cheeky and internet-y but I'm making a serious point here. There's an unbelievable quantity of people here on HN who recite adages about the unknowability of the future (which is good advice!), and then proceed to give very specific recommendations on how to behave in the future, and those recommendations are packed with assumptions about what the future entails. I'm sorry to pick on ttul here but the cognitive dissonance is just astounding.
