Weak appeal to fiction fallacy.

Also, trajectory of celestial bodies can be predicted with a somewhat decent level of accuracy. Pretending societal changes can be equally predicted is borderline bad faith.

> Let's ignore the words of a safety researcher from one of the most prominent companies in the industry
