Surely I’m not the only one wondering how many “prediction tweets” they’ve deleted? It’s an easy scam, if you’re prepared to invest the time. Make lots and lots of quite vague claims. Delete the ones that don’t pan out. Cash in as a “futurist” on the TEd talk circuit or similar… |

Before deciding to begin posting recordings of data to Twitter I wanted to do something that was publicly verifiable. As that was my intention I chose Twitter and decided to never delete any predata.
The only tweets I have deleted are replies to Threadreaderapp and maybe some other random accounts where I would make a comment but then not want to associate it permanently with this precognitive Twitter so I would delete the comment. I never delete any predata. You may find some way to verify that with Twitter, anyone who works there with the right access, will know that what I say is true. I am sure someone can verify that should they choose. I am fully confident of that point.
If that is your method of trying to misrepresent what I have done then I accept the implied flattery that what is there is so incredible that it requires such a, however cruelly delivered, attempt at misrepresenting.
Although your TED talk idea is somewhat crazy-sounding to me. I do not think people are ready for that real acknowledgment of precognition. I hope that is wrong, however.
