Summary
For centuries wise men have been trying to divine the future, and today the endless quest goes on with all the aids of modern science and technology, but like sailing in uncharted seas the best that it seems we can do is try to see where the rocks may be and where there may be some areas of clear passage.
But, even if in the unlikely event that one day there is success in unlocking the future – what a dull world we will be entering.
