Dec 31, 2021 Update: Look for the blue boxes to see how my predictions did!
Everyone loves to say, "I told you so."
But few are willing to admit, "I told you something wrong."
Even though every human makes mistakes every day, it's surprisingly hard to find humans who regularly say, "I was wrong."
I make annual predictions not to say, "I told you so," but rather to teach myself some humility.
I predict events so I can publicly humiliate myself.
It's my way of telling the world, "Look at how spectacularly wrong I was. I am an idiot."
I recommend everyone should write down annual predictions for this reason.
It's a way to keep your ego in check.
Of course, you'll probably get a few things right, but the point is that you get to say those magic words: "I was wrong."
See how I did on my 2020 predictions.
Here are the predictions for 2021
For this Xmas, here's a special present - a podcast like no other!
Sym Blanchard's first podcast with me in #3 in my all-time downloaded podcasts.
My second one with him was also super popular.
To make his third podcast even more interesting, Sym is joined by his girlfriend, Patty Montgomery. Together, they share:
- Why it took them 60 years to finally become a couple.
- How they manage their relationship when Sym is vagabonding.
- How their paths crisscrossed until they finally merged.
- How Sym nearly died on the CDT (jump to the halfway point for that).
- Where they traveled in 2020.
- If Morocco is for you.
- Forrest Fenn's found treasure.
- What they think of the COVID vaccine.
Nick Jankel has written several books, including Spiritual Atheism.
We discuss his book and other topics.
Nick Jankel helps you take the pain out of transformation. He helps you blast through the barriers that block creativity and innovation and unleash conscious changes in leadership and life that bring less suffering and more thriving into the spaces we touch.
Either listen to the podcast or watch it on YouTube.

On March 27, 2020, we had 60,000 COVID deaths worldwide.
I asked several physicians at my brother's virtual birthday party (on March 27) to predict how many deaths we would suffer in 2020.
They said 100-250k.
Rejoice said 1 million.
I said 1.5 million.
In December 2020, we hit the grim 1.5 million number, which is triple the annual number of worldwide flu deaths.
I also discuss my 2021 travel plans.
Get out of your echo chamber! Have conversations with people you disagree with!
In that spirit, I am once again talking with Derek Loudermilk.
We discuss:
- Lucid dreaming
- Listening to your subconscious/gut
- Channeling
- Aliens
- UFOs
- Harmonic Convergence
- Unified Field Intention Experiment
- Why be a skeptic?
You can watch this episode on YouTube.
If you missed my first episode with Derek, listen or watch it now.
Thanksgiving 2020 will force Yanks to dig deep because it's been a "tough year" for them:
- Racial tensions
- Protests
- COVID-19
- Shutdowns
- Unemployment + suicides
- Wildfires
- Elections
Therefore, I list a bunch of random things that we should be grateful for this year (and every year).
This was unrehearsed. I had no script. I just rattled off things that popped into my head.
