Hindsight + Foresight = Survival

hello friends.

upon pondering the fate of mankind, i came up with a theory.
it is a simple theory that calculates the chance of survival of a civilisation.

let me breifly explain:

the past shows us that every so often, certain events happen that SHAKE all life on the planet- drastically lowering the population, and causing great catastrophe across the globe. it is recorded in the "bible" - known as the great flood. other ancient texts describe very similar events, cataclysmic events.

this is what i mean when i say "hindsight"
Hindsight equals the ability to look BACKWARD into the past at events that may in fact REPEAT. ( ' history repeats itself ' )

BUT- looking alone at the past isn't hardly enough!

We must also look FORWARD into the future if we want to survive.
This is what i mean by FORESIGHT.
Foresight equals the ability, through technology, to be able to peer into the cosmos (future) and to detect any cataclysmic event before it actually happens. to see it before its coming. to PREDICT.

so, in essence- Hindsight (realizing the past) plus Foresight (predicting the future) equals Survival  (using both knowledge and technology to ensure some people make it)

i wrote this a while back, wondering what people here think of it ?
