| Nothing really special about this one. I'm just pointing out something that I've noticed. A lot of things are predictable. In fact I belive that if you have enough information and insight almost everything is predictable. But there is one thing that will never be able to be predicted. What I call the human elemant. A lot of time you can tell from someone's personality what they're going to do or think. But there is always the chance that they'll surprise you. And a lot of the time it is, in fact, compleatly unpredictable when they'll be this. This is what I call the human element'. Basicly an excuse for things that I didn't see coming. But more then that. I've been reading and hearing a lot about computers or people in the future that will be able to predict the passing of events simply by sicence and mathimatics. But I disagree with that. The unfolding of events may become more easily predicted but only on a vast population scale. Not with individuals. And even then the acts of one individual can through everythig out of wack. So I'm just saying that individuals will never be compleatly predictable. No matter what knowledge you posses. And knowledge is everything in prediction. Followed closely by intuition. But I find that the latter can be clouded and distorted by emotion and past experiance. Long live knowledge and human unpredictability. |
