Almost all good explanations cannot generate predictions. Indeed they contain explanations why they cannot predict the future. Crucially, our best explanations of epistemology explain how the growth of knowledge (including science and technology) cannot possibly be predicted.

@ToKTeacher Strong take. Real explanations don’t forecast events, they reshape the space of what’s possible. Once new knowledge enters the system, the future is no longer a projection of the past. Depth over prediction.
