And that is part of how divining, or fortune telling, works - when done legitimately, not by charlatans. The pattern is laid forth, and if that pattern is continued then it will lead to an ultimate end.
the problem is knowing how we can continue on that path, the fact that we know the future changes the present, making it so that, that said future is more easily changed
But there is also self fulfilling prophecy as well, knowing the future or thinking of yhe outcome can more easily influence said outcome.
