Catherine revealed CBS passed on what could have been one of the biggest interviews in modern media, not because Elon refused, but because the network did.
She said discussions were underway after her work connected to the Twitter Files, and an opportunity emerged to interview Elon live on his own platform.
That’s when everything stalled.
“I went to the CBS executives and I said, this is the opportunity that we have.
He’s saying, I want to do it live and on my platform.
He’s one of the most influential human beings on the planet.
And the reaction from the executives was, well, we can’t do it live.
What happens if we relook at predictions from 100 years ago?
Futurists usually aren’t judged on the accuracy of their predictions, and people rarely revisit the predictions many years later. Futurists can be wrong and unaccountable; just like meteorologists…
The exception might be RayKurzweil who some have claimed to have a stunning 86% accuracy rate. Other disagree with this claim, citing a significantly lower 7% accuracy. In fact, most well-known futurists seem to have less than a 10% accuracy rate.
I don’t think meteorologists would last very long if they only got the weather right once every two weeks.
Archibald Low’s predictions from 100 years ago seem to have done significantly better. Archibald “Archy” Montgomery Low, born in 1888, was an engineer, physicist, inventor, and prolific author. Low is credited with the first unmanned plane (aka drone), the first electrically-steered rocket, and worked on the first televisions.
