Nonsense take to side step looking at trends and whats likely sure we can’t “know” but we can estimate with above random chance.
Comment on Is there hope for humanity? Or are we just destined or designed to wipe our own selves out?

The future is unknowable.

IDK I’ve predicted my own birthday and Christmas correctly dozens of times.
I even predicted in the year 2000 that AI would become a thing around 2030, I admit that’s the most bulls eye long term prediction I’ve ever made. But still to make a blanket statement that it is unknowable is false.
There are trajectories, and there are statistics that can predict a lot.
Like for instance many of us predicted Russia would lose the war against Ukraine already a couple of months in.
And it was predict4ed 2 years ago that USA would go to war with Iran and lose.
I can also predict that the return of Jesus Christ will not happen within the next 2000 years either!

The only way we can make moral decisions is by doing our best to anticipate the results.
The business of being human and the business of speculating about the future are one and the same.
