Prediction in language comprehension
(excerpt)
Linguistic prediction is a phenomenon in psycholinguistics occurring whenever information about a word or other linguistic unit is activated before that unit is actually encountered.
Evidence from eyetracking, event-related potentials, and other experimental methods indicates that in addition to integrating each subsequent word into the context formed by previously encountered words, language users may, under certain conditions, try to predict upcoming words. In particular, prediction seems to occur regularly when the context of a sentence greatly limits the possible words that have not yet been revealed.
For instance, a person listening to a sentence like, "In the summer it is hot, and in the winter it is..." would be highly likely to predict the sentence completion "cold" in advance of actually hearing it.
A form of prediction is also thought to occur in some types of lexical priming, a phenomenon whereby a word becomes easier to process if it is preceded by a related word.[1] Linguistic prediction is an active area of research in psycholinguistics and cognitive neuroscience.
As you can see, 'predictive linguistics' has to do with predicting words in an individual, which is a far cry from 'predicting the future'. It is fully in the realm of 'linguistics', nothing more.
For this quack to try and extrapolate this into some kind of 'future proves past' crystal ball scenario is bogus in the extreme. You need to stop following quacks just because they sound pretty.
Stop making it personal.
Stop disparaging others’ opinions and theories.

PROJECT SANDMAN
NEWS100+ nations have global agreement now being deployed called ‘Project Sandman’ to drop and end dominance of U.S. dollar and petrodollar
“Project Sandman” describes a 100+ nation agreement that, when triggered, will see those nations simultaneously dump the dollar and abandon the “petrodollar” status that has allowed the USA to enjoy 50 years of fiat currency counterfeiting and material abundance at the expense of everyone else. When this decision is triggered, the dollar and all dollar-denominated assets will plunge to near-ZERO literally overnight.
This means all dollar-denominated bank accounts, bonds, pension funds, treasuries and other investment vehicles will essentially be worth zero for the simple reason that all banks and markets will freeze operations. (This is the James Rickards “Ice-9” scenario.)
Any funds you have in the stock market will be stuck in those markets, and the entire infrastructure of banking and finance will suffer a catastrophic liquidity crisis that will “freeze” nearly all financial transactions.
Credit cards will stop functioning. Food stamp systems will go down and stay down. ATMs will not function. Wire transfers will be halted, checks won’t be honored and banks will appear to be offline when accessed through the internet, displaying “maintenance” messages to panicked users.

Sorry Melian, that’s not how the thread works. It would be nice, but it is not.
People’s nerves are frayed... now we are not just different for hating the vaxx...we are different for doubting the Ukraine. And it’s been a little unnerving to see how many still believe the media!

The ceebug clearly goes where the money goes-—but figger this out: Our local hospital notes that covid cases are dropping but now more than half of them are triple clotshotters. And they won’t say that the shotters are specifically covid related. And they won’t say what they’re treating them for-—just counting them, I suppose, to collect the 33,000$ check?
Still not at Festival level.
