That is too funny. That's the downside of being a pundit: you always have to say something, and that often leaves you looking like an ass. It's too easy to latch onto a given set of buzz words, tropes and other meaningless phrases in order to fill space. But the more you repeat them, the emptier the commentary becomes.
Ah yes, Maxine, there's another area rich in irony. Humans obviously have a compulsion to predict the future in spite of the fact that it cannot be done. (Except in the most generic way: I know that some day I will die.)
