While some people might claim that there is no such thing as clairvoyance, and these people would be right, there are ways of making accurate predictions concerning future events. The three main ways, in descending order of being boring, would be:
1. Thoroughly studying a subject, gathering as much data as possible, analyzing that data and coming up with a list of potential future outcomes that can be ranked by probability.
2. Making predictions that are so vague and general that they are basically bound to come true in some way or other, then relying on observers believing you predicted the specific outcome that actually occurred, rather than just some generality. The “Amazing Criswell” method.
3. Making a prediction, then forcing reality to conform to your prediction. The “Hiruma” method.
Of course, by Hiruma standards, this one was extremely simple – a one-step process, directly affecting the subject of his prediction. Extra points for letting him make use of his firearm, but still – normally Hiruma works these things across multiple steps with countless variables, little to no predictability and leaps in logic that in themselves would qualify him for an Olympic gold medal. And he makes it look easy! Which it kinda is for him, of course, since he’s got the writer in his pocket. >_>
I’ve never used the Hideyoshi toilet myself, so I’m only speculating what it looks like on the inside. But I’m sure it’s nice, since Hideyoshi is the kind of guy who takes good care of things.
More on Thursday.
