The answer should be NO, but, do you think this would work ?
Good scientists are not only able to uncover patterns in the things they study, but to use this information to predict the future. Meteorologists study atmospheric pressure and wind speed to predict the trajectories of future storms. A biologist may predict the growth of a tumor based on its current size and development. A financial analyst may try to predict the ups and downs of a stock based on things like market capitalization or cash flow.
Perhaps even more interesting than the above phenomena is that of predicting the behavior of human beings. Attempts to predict how people will behave have existed since the origins of humankind. Early humans had to trust their instincts. Today, marketers, politicians, trial lawyers and more make their living on predicting human behavior. Predicting human behavior, in all of its forms, is big business. So, how does mathematics do in predicting our own behavior in general? Despite advances in stock market analytics, economics, political polling and cognitive neuroscience – all of which ultimately endeavor to predict human behavior – science may never be able to do so with perfect certainty.
[...] As technology develops, scientists may find that we can predict human behavior rather well in one area, while still lacking in another. It's very difficult to give an overall sense of the limitations. For instance, facial recognition may be easier to emulate because vision is one of many human sensory processing systems, or because there are only so many ways faces can differ. On the other hand, predicting voting behavior, especially based on the 2016 presidential election, is quite another story. There are many complex and not yet understood reasons why humans do what they do.
Still others argue that, theoretically at least, that perfect prediction will someday be possible. Until then, with any luck, mathematics and statistics may help us increasingly account for what people, on average, will do next.

yes I said it all in the subjet, no i did not
All this gathering of where and how you are is fascist bullshait and no one should be cooperating much less collaborating. to do that makes you an actual NAZI, and that is not a pretend nazi collaboration is Nazism, the dutch destroyed there records for a reason

But wear did they destroy they're records? Is this the same non-literate AC? I guess spell-check doesn't really work if you cannot tell the difference between the choices it presents to you.

well like all nazis you will attack anyone for any reason and murder millions because of a spelling error so you demonstrate the reason records should be destroyed or better yet not created at all

I new yew were going to say that. I have the maths. Not just a spelling mistake, repeated and varied mistakes, all suggesting homophonic dyslexiconia. We don't need records, you have already provided a more than adequate sample size for linear projection.
