What's the best prescribed action? Is it that which relies solely on long-standing, individually developed ideals, disregarding the current circumstances and possibly deluding oneself waiting for the results to align with the desired/assumed conclusion? Is it instead action which is executed in direct reaction to each new event and piece of new information, accepted one's current state as the truth and while risking instability, making full use of one's own capabilities in any given moment? Or is it simply to avoid situations where one's fundamental beliefs are called into question?

Predicitons can be accurate, when based on one of a few variations of human behavior (and there are only a few variations), but only for so far.
