The Importance of Understanding the Future

You say, okay, if you follow those rules and it says yes, that's a proof, then you believe that the thing that it says is actually a true statement. So does a proof really mean that it's true? If you believe that, that conviction that the proofs actually do what they're supposed to do gives you something beyond the rules themselves. It seems to me that there's a high probability that the future is actually indeterminately different than the present and the past, that it's actually unpredictably different. And I have another part of that question.
