I realize there's not a perfect solution. But in this case, the imperfect solution isn't even helpful. The events they can predict reliably are things already obvious to most people. And the events they can't predict are usually the ones that carry the most impact. What's worse, they give us a false sense of security, letting our guard down because we think we have the answers.

There is a better solution: Accept that most people don't know anything, and reasonably prepare for any disaster looming in the future.
