Let's back up for a second.  There's a big difference between being able to accurately predict what might happen when there are enough clues and you have an analytical enough mind - VS the kind of stuff I'm talking about. For example, one of my cousins was a big slut at an early age.  Her parents also didn't really discipline her. We all predicted that she'd get pregnant as a teen.  She did. That's not prophesy per se, it's taking known facts, applying common sense and critical thinking, and calculating a likely probability of a result.  It's an intellectual excercise.  Most people have at least some amount of such predictive brain power.  But most people aren't truly prophetic in the sense I'm talking about. That sort of shit isn't the same thing as saying before the election that not only will this guy win, but x number of SCOTUS judges will be replaced, military tribunals are coming, and a whole litany of other very specific and improbable happenings will take place. It's like you're talking about riding a bicycle with training wheels and saying it's the same thing as professional motocross.    Or saying that the guy who is good at guitar hero is as good as the guy who can play a pantera solo on an actual guitar. It's not the same. Maybe I misunderstand what you're saying, I'm happy to know more. But in any case, what's being predicted needs to be judged in context against the specificity of the prediction and the likelihood based on known facts. Without those differences being acknowledged and accounted for, anyone who predicts anything, no matter how logical and easy a prediction it would be to make, is a prophet.
