Can an empirical Hegelian predict the future? Can we study societies evolving without  emphasizing the influence of economics or religion?

I wrote on this before. Idealism or materialism. Hegel or Marx?

Author remains silent on the predicting issue.

Here is what I wrote before:


zeitgeist

fiction
edward w pritchard

We spend an entire lifetime trying to figure what it all means. We can't, we are too enmeshed in the zeitgeist.

Near death we understand. Ancients did too and decided that we must live again and again to see the truth.

Reincarnation.

let's throw in Darwin:

we are a small mammal huddling in the back of our burrow,
noises filter into our senses,
we had enough to eat today and our burrow is warm and dry
best return to sleep darkness will end soon
