*empiricism

What we have, right now, is enough to turn many things in the world upside-down, and we only owe it to human and legal inertia that this is still not absolutely apparent yet, unless you're following what's happening.



Empiricism by definition is concerned only with the past. There is no way to extrapolate from where we were to where we will be with such extreme technological shifts.

Hindsight bias.
