Humor and Forecasters

Funny are the augurs, august priests of economics, seeking signs and omens to interpret the will of markets. Funny are the sports seers, today's oracles of Delphi, working in sky palaces of night, predicting who the gods of football will pick to triumph against the odds. Funny are the highly paid prophets, the soothsayers, the tea leaves readers, the warlocks, who with fortune telling science and fantastic machines of technology, are divining from the intestines of a goat, their forecasts of the weather, tomorrow in Cincinnati. Funnier than tea leaves readers are statistics. Funnier still are the sightless looking for insight through statistics. Funnier than economics, sports guessing, weather predicting foolery is psychology. A symposium, a big old gathering of conferring guys and gals, operating without a horoscope, is hilarious. Now to the video below. More To Come.
