Prediction Philosophy, ethics and society

The postmodern world could differ from the modern world in a way that is much worse or much better.

Unresolvable The public record could not settle it.

Prediction: Statements about events outside the person's control, checked once they fell due: did they come true?

Reasoning

Hedged claim that the world 'could be much worse or much better'; it has no testable criteria or horizon.
