Quote of the Day | 0121

Predicting the future is essential to modern life. When we buy a house, we’re essentially predicting that the surrounding neighborhood isn’t about to go to seed; when we start a business, we’re predicting that what we’re selling will find a buyer; when we marry, we’re predicting our mate won’t turn into an appalling, intolerable bore. Every decision, from going to a party, to voting, to professing belief in a higher power, is tightly bound to our confidence about what will happen next.

Joe Keohane, ‘That guy who called the big one? Don’t listen to him’
