I love when it when we can see how much people “in the know” get it wrong. With all of the media they need to find people to be experts and talk to make prognostications. Just as we saw with the Flat Earth Society there are people on every side of each idea.
«Democracy will be dead by 1950.»
John Langdon-Davies, A Short History of The Future, 1936.
«And for the tourist who really wants to get away from it all, safaris in Vietnam»
Newsweek, predicting popular holidays for the late 1960s.
«That virus is a pussycat.» -– Dr. Peter Duesberg, molecular-biology professor at U.C. Berkeley, on HIV, 1988.
«Sensible and responsible women do not want to vote.»
Grover Cleveland, U.S. President, 1905.
Here are the rest.
