"I'm starting to think that everybody is just guessing about everything!"

Sure.

Or maybe guessing in the direction they want to be true. Sure, it's bad, but
everybody does this to some level.  Just consider your spouse.

Or intentionally misleading people.  Not so good.


Anyway, it there is a mini-ice age, I predict that it will be followed by an
extended period of global warming.

-

Not only have intellectuals been insulated from material consequences, they
have often enjoyed immunity from even a loss of reputation after having been
demonstrably wrong - Thomas Sowell

What never fails inside the mind of an intellectual never works outside the
confines of his head. The world’s stubborn refusal to vindicate the
intellectual’s theories serves as proof of humanity’s irrationality, not his
own. Thus, the true believer retrenches rather than rethinks; he launches a
war on the world, denying reality because it fails to conform to his
theories. If intellectuals are not prepared to reconcile theory and
practice, then why do they bother to venture outside the ivory tower or the
coffeehouse? Why not stay in the world of abstractions and fantasy? - Daniel
