WTF IS THIS?

The Forecast asks you five questions. Then it tells you who you're becoming.

You can lie. It won't matter.

The piece is about what happens when systems predict your future so confidently that the prediction starts to replace the life it claims to describe. Recommendation engines, credit scores, hiring algorithms, insurance models—they don't just guess what you'll do. They shape what you're allowed to do. The future they predict becomes the only future available.

Five questions isn't enough data to know someone. But it's more than most systems need.
