Which is just a pompous and needlessly complex way of saying "I don't know".

The idea that we can't  know what we will see or do next came from that
great thinker Og the caveman and he used induction not logic to develop
it;  he remembered that he didn't know what he would do next in the past
and he figured that trend, just like everything else, would probably
continue into the future. Only much later did Turing discover that the same
conclusion could be derived from logic.

As usual  Bruno Marchal can't continue without a ambiguous pronoun fix, in
this case it's "his".

What do I think? I think that I don't give a rat's ass about "comp".
