        They can’t perfectly predict the future in the same way that meteorologists can’t, but both beat a coin flip by a mile.

          “predict” is moving the goalposts. i said they can’t know, and they asked if i wanted to bet. i know that they can’t know the future.

            Exactly like how I can confidently predict your perfect spontaneous anarchist revolution won’t happen to tomorrow, no matter how much you insist that “it could”

                  i figured if you lost a bet you wouldn’t welch on it. and calling me tankie, when this whole discussion is about me opposing authoritarian regimes no matter how they wish to portray themselves, is simply dishonest.
