    Time changes. Cultures, laws... Absolutely all that changes. Data, that history gathers, can't be used for prediction. At least the precision won't be better than if you will just analyze your current situation. Absurd is trying to predict the future from fairy tails about kings and dragons.

    How can you claim that people/societies change with time while also claiming that history is all about fairytales? How can you possibly determine what people or society used to be like if you also think that any records from that time are useless and made up? Utter nonsense.
