69/83 jbml thln: therefore, if "the future ~~~~~~~


PREDICTION
IS INFURIATINGLY
DIFFICULT TO MAKE,"
perhaps we need to understand a bit better why that difficulty infuriates us.

It shouldn't; it should make us humble.
If the present was not accompanied by such infinite misery unto death that seems inexorably emblematic
of our now most likely futures, I would say that the very difficulty of predicting the future should if anything make us laugh.
It is wrong, of course, to laugh too much at our neighbor's funeral.

"TABLE OF CONTENTS :"
By the time I read your thln_004, I had virtually no memory of anything like a "list" of topics. In fact there are two, yours at thln_002 & mine thln_001! By now I think we have touched on most of the items in your list, certainly in no way systematic enough that we might extract a table of contents! Perhaps we have not mentioned two.

As to "looking at other conclusions from linguistics that might affect a post-marketplace view of human relations," perhaps we might start there at some unpredictable point in the future. (From both the commentary form to which I have been driven here, and your own recourse to quite everyday of past, present & future at page 69, I begin to sense that this particular exchange is drawing toward a pro-visional ending.)
