Futurology: Bulk Predictions
From Future
Bulk predictions are predictions with lists on a tremendous variety of factors and events that are supposed to interplay sometime in the near future. These are of course by no means total nor accurate, but they do show us where other futurologists have ventured in prediction, and tell us where we need to improve as long as we can find those weak points that other futurologists have not covered, thereby showing us where we are most likely to make our crucial errors.
Bulk predictions can be collected from different sources (various reports) and fed into a single database of predictions.
