Re: probability question (pertaining to SM+P)

[ QUOTE ]
Question: why do we assume that the future will resemble the past?

[/ QUOTE ]
Because our brains have been wired to do so by natural selection.

In the past, the future has generally resembled the past. So the assumption that the future resembles the past has served our ancestors better than did the opposite view.
