I'm saying that you being correct doesn't matter if you don't change future outcomes. When you predict the second train wreck, will you have created a mechanism to stop it or are you going to write the draft for another "I told you so"? Are you going to form the "stopping train wrecks" coalition or do you expect other people in the scenario to form it spontaneously? If you are saying that you have to do more than just being right, then you are agreeing with what I wrote in my previous comments.

Going onto a web forum and saying "I told you so" is not a mechanism of changing future outcomes. It is only a mechanism for collecting upbears.

Yes, I enjoy interacting with people on this website. Otherwise I probably wouldn't be doing it.

I think you just enjoy the dopamine boost from getting “upbears, it’s okay to be wrong sometimes.

A suggestion I would make is you would fair better if you put more of this energy doing things off the web than pointlessly commenting on a shitpost from a person you call a troll. Says a lot more about your character than it does me.

The first good point you've made to me in this thread is that interacting with you is pointless. And you know what, you kind of got me with that one.
