Your Predictive Abilities

How to Determine If You Should Talk About Politics in Public

Posted to his Blog by Scott Adams, 22 December 2017.♠

The lede:

When candidate Trump first set about the job of redefining politics (and reality) back in 2015, people had lots of predictions about how things would turn out.  One year isn’t long enough to know everything we need to know about his presidency, but it’s long enough to to check some of our predictions.  As a public service, I put together a list of predictions that various people made about Trump that you can use to evaluate your own predictive powers.  Count the number of items on the list that you once predicted would be true.  I’ll tell you how to evaluate your score at the end.

Hat tip to the InstaPundit.
