> the world is much less predictable than we think it is
I don't know anyone who thinks the world is predictable. Anyone. Your problem is scope. The world is not predictable. But small pieces are. And the world is made up of many, many small pieces. The challenge is discovering those small pieces. Not all are obvious.
And those pieces which we have discovered we can predict at a reasonable level, we ignore.
Take automatic doors at the entrance of stores. We approach the entrance, the door recognizes this, and the doors open. This is predication. We are predicting that someone approaching in a particular area will most likely want to enter the store, so we prepare by opening the door. This isn't 100%, but it's an overwhelmingly effective prediction.
> Who did like this when a teenager?
I'm not a teenager anymore though, so your reasoning doesn't follow. Your upset that if you are lost, and you want to find your way back, Google will, maybe, tell you?
Seems like your problem is personal, and frankly, a bit selfish. It's easily solved by not using the tools that you do no want to use.
