All predictions on The Economist cover for the year 2021 came true (Part 2)

The Economist. In the last episode we talked about The Economist magazine. This magazine was founded in 1843 and publishes economic related news. Right now the average weekly circulation is as high as 1.44 million copies and is considered a fairly influential magazine. Amazingly this magazine not only forecasts the economic situation but also At the beginning people did not pay much attention as there are countless media making forecasts. It was not until the outbreak of the pandemic at the end of 2019 when people started to notice the significance of the 2019 Economist magazine cover which had a picture of the four horsemen of the apocalypse wearing masks. It even included the picture of a pangolin as the suspected host of the new coronavirus. Further in the 2020 edition the magazine once again accurately predicted the fall of Trump, specific climate anomalies around the world and many more. Most importantly at the end of last year the magazine published another forecast for 2021. This time in the magazine cover was the picture of a slot machine. Does this imply that our future is a bet? If this is the case the slot machine displayed on the cover is likely to be our future. Next let us look at this most curious prediction for 2021 by The Economist magazine, the slot machine. Before we continue please remember to subscribe to our channel believe it or not to receive notifications of new content. Slot machines are commonly found in casinos. When the game is in progress players need to put coins into the slots of the machine first and then pull down the handle. Then you will see the screen on the machine starting to turn. When the machine stops the final screen will determine whether the players win or lose. The odds of winning with a slot machine are usually very slim. On the 2021 Economist magazine a slot machine is depicted on the cover. There are many seemingly random pictures on this year's cover but the fact is that each picture represents a special meaning. Their appearance and positioning are the result of very detailed design. Those of you who have played slot machines will know that after images appear when the screen of the machine rotates. These similar after images also appear on The Economist magazine cover to show that this machine is still rotating. We can even use the direction of the after images to determine that the machine is turning from the bottom to the top. This is a very important indicator because it helps to determine the sequence of the picture occurrence. It is worth noting that only the second column of the machine depicted on the cover has no after images. This means that the images displayed in this column will no longer change. There are two arrows on the side and it is clear the final picture that the arrow is pointing to is Biden. Joe Biden became the 46th president of the United States in the US presidential election in November 2020. In the second column we can see that under Biden was the split American flag and TikTok. At the end of 2020 the United States announced that it will ban the use of TikTok in the country. The split flag is also in line with the continued clash between supporters of Biden and supporters of Trump after the presidential election at the end of last year. These three pictures are not predictions because these occurrences have been confirmed before the magazine went to market. It is only the nuclear bomb above Biden's head that has not happened yet. This is a bit scary. Does The Economist think that there may be a nuclear war this year or could it be representing the Australia-US-UK alliance to build nuclear-powered submarines which was recently announced in September? Apart from the second column the remaining three columns of the magazine are still rotating so we can be sure that these are the predictions The Economist wants to relate. The two recurring pictures are question marks and viruses. If we assume these are images that appear continuously we will be able to see a completely different sequence of patterns. The first thing we see is the Chinese flag. Above it is a picture that symbolises wind power generation and then a symbol that represents money. It can be interpreted that the place where the pandemic first appeared was in China and the virus is spread through the air or wind and in addition China is one of the largest economies in the world so the virus will spread very fast. The strange thing is why is the colour of the face mask red on the little yellow person? We all know that in this pandemic medical masks are an indispensable weapon for self-defense however normally medical masks are light coloured whereas red medical masks are almost non-existent on the market. In addition the pattern that appeared above the head of the yellow person is a syringe with a drop of the vaccine so could it be that this is predicting some people will It is not just the colour of the mask that is confusing even the colour inside the syringe is quite ominous. Generous leaking green represents the meaning of a natural ecology and environmental protection. If it is used in medical treatment especially inside a syringe it mostly represents something toxic. Having this colour appear in a syringe on the cover of the In addition there is currently a certain percentage of people who have had serious side effects due to the vaccine so some people are refusing to be vaccinated. This seems to marry up with the magazine's prediction once again. It is not just vaccine side effects that are worrying but also the virus variant that was discovered in the UK in September 2020. Discoveries of different virus variants have also been reported around the world making it difficult to effectively control the pandemic situation. Therefore we can see that most enterprises have adopted the concept of working from home and many meetings are held online via video conferencing. These were all predicted by The Economist magazine earlier on. After the video conferencing picture we can see In the last episode we talked about the 2020 Economist magazine where serious problems related to climate change were already predicted. Last year due to the greenhouse effect unprecedented high temperatures were recorded in many parts of the world with many damaging bushfires. The pattern of fire appears again in the 2021 magazine. Does this imply that there will be an inevitable forest How can The Economist magazine repeatedly predict what will happen in the future? Some people are wondering is it possible that there are people from the future on the team or is our world really controlled by a powerful minority? In fact the answer to the question might not necessarily be any of the above. Everyone knows that although the virus appeared in 2019 the real pandemic occurred in 2020. At that time many medical teams were already developing vaccines so by the end of the year vaccines became available on the market. At that time some experts were already saying that not everyone can be administered the newly marketed vaccine due to possible side effects. Therefore the green liquid depicted in The Economist magazine suggesting side effects of the vaccine seems reasonable. Not to mention the bushfires were due to environmental destruction by mankind. The climate issue has long been an open secret. So instead of asking why The Economist magazine can predict the future it would be better to reflect on the problems created by human beings. For example in the face of virus transmission are we cooperating with wearing masks? When the world is in chaos do we think rationally without creating panic and understand the importance of peace? Maybe when we start to pay attention to the disasters indicated by these pictures we can be winners of the game.
