Prognostication is the art of confidently predicting the future, while secretly having no idea what you're talking about. It's like trying to navigate a dark cave with a flashlight that's running out of batteries.
Because, let's face it, the future is uncertain, and sometimes it's more fun to make things up as you go along! Plus, prognostication is great for:
1. Read a lot of books about the future. (Just don't actually read them.)
2. Talk to people who claim to be experts. (Just nod along and pretend to understand.)
3. Look at your palm. (It's a proven science, right?)
4. Use a Ouija board. (Just go with it.)
