Predictive linguistics is absolutely real. Emotions can predict the future.

Predictive linguistics is absolutely real.

Because you say so?

Emotions can predict the future.

Emotions are ever changing and can not be isolated at one moment in time to predict the future, especially on a mass basis.

Sometimes, you must apply simple common sense, goodman.

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.
