I feel like I can predict the future personal trajectories of 2 out of 3 people under 25 given a decent signal like a few hundred tweets. This is very depressing. But the 1 in 3 I can’t predict give me hope.

Ofc it would be Middle-Aged Malpractice to actually share these predictions. The only ethical position is to hope you’re wrong about all of them and stfu.
Not just me btw. I’d guess 1/3 of 40+ types have a similarly tuned classifier. Basic qualification for middle management.

Interesting that people *want* me to hazard actual predictions: if you’re in the predictable set it is by definition not a positive prediction (since it’s depressing to me) and knowing it actually increases probability I’ll end up being right.

Rational under-25 attitude is to ignore 40+ predictions and hope all older pattern classifiers are wrong about you. The chances you’ll heed a negative prediction as a warning as opposed to perversely doubling down on the path as a fuck-you to oldie expectations are low.
