High-confidence predictions about the medium-to-far-future (especially ones that suggest sending money)

I can't see this as part of the problem. You don't have to discuss it, but I'm bewildered that it's on the list.

Again, there should be a place to discuss that, but it shouldn't be the same place that's trying to raise the sanity waterline.
