are predictions reliable?

Question

predictions in general
if you should trust/believe them

Answer 1

Predictions in general...no, I don't believe in them because the listener needs to factor in the source of the prediction.

Answer 2

This is not a question that can be 'answered properly' if it is asked in such a 'general' way ... because there are MILLIONS OF PREDICTIONS in this world, and some are going to 'work out perfectly' and some are going to be 'way off' but most of them will be 'more toward the middle' of things ... and your answer could be that 'Predictions can be reliable or unreliable, depending on who makes them, and how those persons have been educated, and how 'accurate' they are at making predictions.'

Answer 3

Predictions are guesses, speculations, and really depend on the
subject matter being predicted, and whether or not there is some
identifiable pattern to the subject (like weather). If the person who
is doing the predicting is qualified, maybe you could halfway rely
on what is said (even experts can be wrong). Futures, like your
horoscope, are mostly guesswork and can't be relied on for very
much accuracy. It's best to stick with "tested and proven".

Answer 4

Parapychological studies have prooven through statistics that many (if not most) humans have a low level precognative ability.

They have, also, proven through clinical tests that the ability is so weak and unreliable that it cannot be trusted to base decisions on. The information garnered is too vague to be useful and usually detracts from simpler more reliable methods of discovery.

Answer 5

predictions based on past observation of a recurring event are generally reliable if variables remain constant...psychic or precognitive predictions are generally not more reliable than random chance...

Answer 6

pls tell me: whose predictions?

Answer 7

No.
