I'm just sick of low effort articles where the author appoints themselves oracle/definer of the future. It results in devolution of knowledge and a disrespect of the attention of intelligent people. "he could be right" -- what a waste of a statement unless it is followed up by any premise. He could right... Ok, that's a claim. But based on what?

But you’re the one whose decided to dedicate so much attention to it. If it’s a prediction you don’t agree on just ignore it The fact that it’s touched a nerve is more interesting to me

  Wait a sec-- So someone can write an opinion, and that's ok-- but hey: no one critique it, ok? But if I write an opinion-- that's not ok. But you-- you're allowed to critique my opinion. _______ Let's apply your logic to your replies: Well, jack_riminton, It seems like I've touched a nerve. Why did you feel compelled to comment on my commentary, when you could have just ignored it? Why are you critiquing my opinion if you're making the case that opinions should not be critiqued (and should simply be ignored if a person is in disagreement)? ______ Ohh.... Now I see. You're the one who posted the article. Well, everything is very clear now: Simple bias. ______ Note: You never followed up when I questioned the premise of your claim "he could be right." It seems you're not interested in analyzing whether or not he is right. So what's the point of even posting this article? Yet the purpose of my entire thread is to draw attention to the fact that him being right will not result from conclusions of a poorly contrived, low effort, pop-tech article.

  Seems more like your nerve was touched. If you can't handle critique and do not want attention why are you posting your article here?

    Firstly it’s not my article Secondly I don’t even agree with it It’s an interesting (and apparently provocative) prediction. I’ve enjoyed reading the responses
