Not that it matters if the prediction was correct or not but did the old
prediction say who was supposed to see Washington and Moscow?

and realizes that what city "he" saw is not enough information to determine
if the prediction was correct, not that it makes the slightest difference
if it was a good prediction or bad because in dealing with the sense of
self only the past and present are important, Mr. He may not even have a
future but Mr. He would still feel like he was the same person he was
yesterday.

been thought for thousands of years but is actually equal to 1. Here is my
proof: I take a cookie and place it in a red box and put it on a shelf. I
take another cookie and place it in a blue box and add it to the shelf. I
now open the red box and count the cookies in it and find that there is
only 1. Therefore 1+1 =1. QED

Question: Can anybody find an error in my proof?
