In
the
Valley,
prediction
has
become
a
popular
way
of
fighting
for
a
particular
future
while
claiming
merely
what
has
yet
to
occur.
Prediction
has
a
useful
air
of
selflessness
to
it.
Predictors
aren't
caught
in
the
here
and
now
of
their
own
appetites
and
interests.
It
seems
like
they
aren't
choosing
how
things
will
be
in
the
future
any
more
than
they
choose
the
color
of
their
eyes.
Yet
selecting
one
scenario
among
many
possible
scenarios
and
persuading
everybody
of
its
inevitability
-
and
of
the
futility
of
a
society's
exercising
its
collective
choice
among
these
futures
-
is
a
deft
way
to
shape
the
future.
The replay is still saving.
