Scientists said that if we did not take action to slow the spread of covid19, the hospitals would be overloaded by now. The hospitals are not, at least in my town. This has got me thinking about other people and their failed predictions.
Scientists said that if we didn’t stop using CFCs, there would be a hole in the ozone layer and we would all get skin cancer. Yet, even though we banned CFCs, the promised hole still hasn’t given us all cancer. Stupid scientists.
Fire Departments claim that without them, we would see entire cities burning, like what happened to every major city at least once in the 19th century. Yet today every fire gets stopped at the first building. Most fire alarms are just burnt toast and Samsung phones doing their thing. Therefore we should disband fire departments.
Winston Churchill predicted that we would be fighting nazis on the beaches and in the hills through a 1000 year dark age. That didn’t happen. Therefore, the RAF was a waste of money, the blackouts and rationing and bombshelter building was a useless nuisence. He should have instead done tax cuts, and ignored WW2 like any another European cat fight.
In the seventies, scientists said that mainframe computers were the most powerful computers in the world. Yet I’m typing this on a device that is more powerful than any of those so-called supercomputers.
Also, in the 70’s scientists did not yet have a consensus on what the effects of climate change would be, therefore we can’t trust Scientists today.
