Talk:Forecast

I don't understand the obsession with political, economic, or election forecasting with someone who doesn't know what is happening on the planet around them at a given moment.

“	Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.	”
—Jesus, Matt. 6:34

Economists, meteorologists, business people doing business forecasts, stock/bond traders, currency traders, commodity traders are not engaging in divination. There is a difference between forecasting which uses statistical analysis, trends, and other empirical analysis concerning the past/present and people who engage in divination and the occult.

Personally, I don't see what difference it is to you, since you don't know what's happening on the planet at any given moment. Your obsession with "Superforecasting" seems a little occultic. RobS^{The Truth. Just Putin It Out There} 02:43, May 23, 2024 (EDT)

Seems occultic to you (which is a personal opinion) or is occultic? There is a huge difference. Conservative (talk) 02:45, May 23, 2024 (EDT)

Show me an article on the internet specifically on the topic of forecasting that claims divination is involved. Conservative (talk) 02:40, May 23, 2024 (EDT)

Sorry, but that's not our rules for citation anyway. I can show you an article on the internet that tree frogs grow from mushrooms, if you like. RobS^{The Truth. Just Putin It Out There} 02:46, May 23, 2024 (EDT)

You are not making an actual argument. I have no problem with people making good faith arguments using evidence, but when they are just maliciously spoiling for a fight that is a problem. Andy had to step in as far as the "superforecasting" article because you were acting unreasonably. Conservative (talk) 02:49, May 23, 2024 (EDT)

Sorry, but I think you have never made "an actual argument" in any of our discussions. It's a bit unfair to ask that of me, now. RobS^{The Truth. Just Putin It Out There} 03:09, May 23, 2024 (EDT)

That is a mere opinion and not an actual argument. What's worse is that it is not an opinion that isn't relevant to this matter. Conservative (talk) 03:13, May 23, 2024 (EDT)

Do you really want to be known as Conservapedia's unreasonable guy who is a drama seeker? I would prefer not getting Andy involved, but if you would prefer that, that is up to you. But if we go that route, he is going to think lesser of you - especially after he had to intervene in the superforecasting article. Conservative (talk) 03:12, May 23, 2024 (EDT)

You already hold that title, and I'm not in competition for it. RobS^{The Truth. Just Putin It Out There} 03:13, May 23, 2024 (EDT)

The ==See also== Fortune-telling is a reverse link. Leave it alone. RobS^{The Truth. Just Putin It Out There} 03:18, May 23, 2024 (EDT)

If you insist on trying to spoil the article, I will just reach out to Andy this weekend. And if a future content dispute happens, you will be known to Andy as the guy who purposefully behaves badly. Conservative (talk) 03:34, May 23, 2024 (EDT)
