Profiling Astrology
Malcolm Gladwell exposes criminal profiling as astrology, seen as valuable because people remember the parts that were true and forget the parts that weren't.I have heard that Zbigniew Brzezinski, National Security Advisor to Jimmy Carter, used to say: "If you are going to predict, predict often." At some point, some of what you say will be right.
