What do ancient, scientifically-discounted spiritual traditions like prophecies, divinations and horoscopes have to do with the main issues facing civilization?
Well, we're not talking about prophecies, divination and horoscopes. We're talking about recently discovered, scientifically and statistically verifiable processes that are presently helping governments find lost persons and negotiate international diplomacy. Consider that the United States Government, advised by the CIA, recently used a mathematical foretelling algorithm based on game theory to determine the ideal dollar amount of aid to give to the Pakistani government in 2009.
To a certain extent, we can begin to apply these scientific processes for prognostication in our own lives.
