Are you a prophet [there are plenty of these on this site] or a scientist? [there are not enough of these on this site]

@Mcflewster No just a sad old bloke.

@Mcflewster But iI will quote you a post I made the other day.

It may happen, it may not happen, if it does it will most likely be all of the above working together, plus some others like resource exhaustion, grid breakdown etc. Few things in history occur for single simple reasons, historians have found forty plus reasons why the Roman Empire ended, most of which could never have been foreseen and all of which contributed.

But if you want to know the future then you can try a fortune teller, or a futurologist, neither work but they are your best shot. When at college forty years ago we went to a lecture given by a government advisor, very senior, who job was to predict future trends for the government, we were told that it was very special that he agreed to talk to us. Over the years I remember how many of the things he said came true; exactly none. History is chaotic and all attempts to foresee it are doomed to fail.

@Fernapple He had access to a lot of data some of which he memorised as conclusions so why should not some come true? depends on how good a civil servant scientist he was.

Some things happen PURELY by chance. e.g. even though she drives in ministerial car she could STILL get killed in an accident Ref Prince Philip. Everyone on the road IS at greater risk than at home.

Give science another chance? I have not given up on you!

@Mcflewster If you would like to know about my thoughts on science a other things a good way would be to look at my debate with Skado on this post. Warning it is a long debate so sit back for a good read. [agnostic.com]

@Fernapple Have done.

It is up to us! That IS democracy.

We cannot have a second referendum, it would be undemocractic. Imagine if parliament were to be voting on the same thing time after time.... Oh wait!
What I see is Brexiteer fear of losing badly enough to have the project put to bed. Surely they should be looking forwards to a resounding victory again?
Is there a halfway measure? Put article 50 on hold. Find out what sort of Brexit the country wants backed up by ojective investigation of each of thr directions. Then ask the people. That way, Brexshit is honoured and a likely outcome is a softer Brexit as remoaners like me get to choose how we leave

@Sofabeast What a cunning plan!

I judge that you are Not a prophet but a Scientist [See comment recently added 31/03/19. Hope you are not offended.

@Mcflewster I believe you have just paid me a compliment....thank you! I may be hardest person here to offend....I’m a realist, and a freethinker...I like debate and have even been known to admit being wrong, or to changing my opinion, based on critical thought and argument.

@Marionville Realism is your best blessing(?)

@Mcflewster Thanks!
