PostDocalypse

The cultural epoch accompanying the impending collapse in prestige of higher education as vast oversupplies of professional academicians epically fail at life vying for imaginary positions in nonexistent job markets for debt-laden intellectuals who know absolutely nothing about anything that is capable of turning a profit

“I was certain that ... once I racked up $120K in debt on 5 years of Ivy League undergrad and then wasted the earning potential of my 20’s surviving on Ramen in a post grad program preparing to piss away all future job prospects obtaining a PhD in ideological bullshit ... surely I would finally be positioned to achieve true fulfillment in the 2nd half of my life.”

or the less convincing...

postdiction

Brian Miller writes: Postdiction is an explanation after the event: the lamest and laziest form of prophecy.

In skepticism, it is considered an effect of hindsight-bias that (only afterwards) explains claimed predictions of significant events.

Happens often at race-tracks and masked wine tastings.

Larry Lockshin adds: "I knew it." Used extensively in business case studies, which often purport to cause and effect: they did this, and that happened.

It is not a predictor of outcomes for those following the claims.

A typical postdiction might be:

It was after I switched from Corn Flakes to Rice Krispies that women started to notice me. You should try Rice Krispies. They could work for you too...

postdictable

Obvious in hindsight; predictable after the fact.

It seemed like a good idea at the time but its failure was entirely postdictable.
