Hey Steemit, does anyone really have the ability to make economic predictions? [dTube]

I've studied economics at the undergraduate and graduate levels and studied these issues for a long time now, and I increasingly believe that the concept of economic predictions is mostly bogus. I think the most intelligent path forward is for people to make plans that account for the unpredictability of our economy and not to spend time finding the forecaster that is "always right" or mostly right.

Thoughts?
