Language is important. We can predict anything and everything. There are some things we can't _reliably_ predict. This article ironically suffers from its own thesis. It assumes that because we haven't provided some things successfully in the past, we will never predict anything in the future. A simple counterexample should dispel this silly notion. We used to consider the weather completely unpredictable. Now we have elaborate systems and theories that allow us to predict the weather with at least some accuracy. A more reasonable thesis might be, we can't reliably predict human behavior, because much like the uncertainty principle, each prediction that is published, which it must be to be meaningful, affects the behavior it is trying to predict.
