- 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. RobSThe 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. RobSThe 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. RobSThe Truth. Just Putin It Out There 03:09, May 23, 2024 (EDT)
