No, but they are playing word games. yes, the human brain is a great engine designed for predicting future events and working with that e.g. how to catch a ball that is coming towards you and will arrive shortly in the future, how to throw an object and hit a target, how to pick up a heavy object and move it to where you need it, etc.

But this is not at all the same kind of "predicting future events" as accurately saying where e.g. the CryptoCurrency or VR industry will be in a decade or so.
