The thing is, as David Hume points out, there is no rational basis for the belief that the future will resemble the past. There is an evolutionary basis for it, however, because those animals that don't hold this belief tend not to live long enough to breed. Getting past Hume's depressing realization in the realm of philosophy usually comes down to diving into metaphysics and ontology. Good luck getting there with silicon.
