I don’t think sci-fi makes you know the future, rather it’s a trait marker for people who like to think about it and thus a self selector I think.

Yo re:fantasy / reading, I don’t know if it makes you a more creative person but I definitely thought the point that Stephen pinker made about it decreasing crime because it helped create empathy seems... true ish? Not a fun read though.
