>Predicting the future is inherently stupid. Trying to show what will happen in our complex world using models is the stuff of Science Fiction. I think stupid is the wrong word to use here. "Flawed" would have worked just as well without having potential for misunderstandings. Attempts of predicting the future is _essential_ for our society to work. The reason we move forward at the pace we currently do is because we use assumptions and approximations of reality to plan ahead.
