Forecasting is a skill that must be well practiced. 

And I’m not taking about Nostradamus-style predictions of future events.

I’m referring to the art of understanding the likely impacts of self-serving behavior.

The more self-serving that one’s behavior is today, the less self-serving it is, in the long run.

Simply stated, people learn to dodge the users. Even if that is just an emotional dodge rather than a geolocational dodge.

There’s nothing sadder than a selfish individual that doesn’t understand their own loneliness.

And often it’s not even their own fault; selfish parents, the wrong influences, faulty wiring, solar flares – the history of little events at critical moments.

Some of them will even subconsciously divine and abuse this empathetical view. 

Your job is to cut them off. There’s never any upside in feeding an addiction, for anyone. 

Just occasionally the contrary is true.
