Here's a "fun" one. The XBox 360 release is closer to the US release of the NES, than it is to today. I read this one before and had to double check it, because that stings lol. But yeah, it's true. If you're planning to have kids, don't wait til a good time, because wow do the decades fly by - and "good times" like you might envision never come. There's always something that could be better, and with the world going through so many inflection points - predicting the future now is less possible than ever before.

I would've said, if you plan to have your wisdom teeth removed, to be more inclusive. Actually, I think it is far easier to predict the future than ever before, but only because we are heading down some pretty distressing pathways where predicting and creating are more intertwined than ever before.
