I guess I’m the last psychic scientist left


Rebecca Watson did her yearly roundup of psychic predictions made by her friends, and it seems I’m the only one to make some predictions for 2025. It was easy. I just said a few things that were obvious and trivial, and all the big predictions were dismal and pessimistic.

All my worst predictions are already coming true!

    I did see a prediction on Bluesky that is already coming true.

    January 20th, 2025 is that start of 4 years of…

    “I/we told you this would happen.”

    My prediction, which is mine, is that “psychics” will make predictions that are either sure-bets (Sun rises in the East! A pro football team will win the Superbowl!) or impossible to disprove (Diety loves you more than your enemies!).

    The above prediction is in the “sure-bet” category, along with “Trump will do something stupid”.

    Nasal vaccines: these have been ‘promising’ for years.

    As a baseball great* once said, “If you’re a rookie, and they say you have potential, that’s a compliment. If you’ve been around a few years and they still say you have potential, that’s no longer a compliment.”

    I can’t remember which one.

    I used to buy the National Enquirer issue that contained Jean Dixon’s predictions for the coming year, usually about 100 of them. I’d put it on my bulletin board and check off things as they were disconfirmed, or, rarely, confirmed. I think the best she ever did was 4 out of 100, with a fairly generous interpretation for one of them.
