Present Brains can’t predict the future ?
You look at our world from the 1990’s and compared to 2015, there’s not a whole lot of visual distinction, it doesn’t really look all that different. Houses are largely the same, cars, planes, clothing. What changed isn’t all that easily depicted, from the vantage point of then. Extend that out a century and it gets even weirder. Where they’re right or close to it, it’s still off-kilter because of incorrect assumptions elsewhere.
