One of my few shortcomings is that I can't predict the future.

I can't predict the future.

I can't predict the future and I don't have respect for people who try to.

I am incredibly bad at predicting the future; I am only smart enough to observe the present and listen to my intuition about tendencies.

I've ceased making predictions on things because we'll see how they turn out.

I never predict anything, and I never will.

You can never properly predict the future as it really turns out. So you are doing something a little different when you write science fiction. You are trying to take a different perspective on now.

Prediction is very difficult, especially if it's about the future.

The best way to predict the future is to change it.
