Good example QOS, One of the things I do when examining information, and those sharing the information, is to look at the reason why people feel they need to share any information that they do share. I ask myself do I think and feel that this person is sharing information for the benefit of others, or to boost their own egos.
There are plenty of would be gurus around today, spreading fear, making predictions about the dire consequences of what they believe is happening in the world, telling people that they "know" what is going on, they have all the answers, and everyone should listen to them, follow them, and not question them. These people exist in churches, the internet, MSM, the government, and many exist in what we think of as alternative areas, such as new age belief systems, or even alternative medicine sites like CZ.
As soon as these people start giving hints such as, telling people that they have knowledge that others aren't aware/enlightened/capable of understanding or examining for themselves, or speaking of other human beings as being sheeple/stupid/asleep/etc (you get my meaning I'm sure), also the ones who believe they have been somehow chosen (by god, the elite, whatever), or are somehow better/more special/above/or superior than other human beings, these are red flags to me, that warn of another wanna be guru in the making.
No human being can predict the future, all we can do is look at the information and the energy of now, and to some extent of the past. We can speculate, but we cannot know.
That is my opinion FWIW anyway.
