Too trite

Lots of banal editorializing:

 "naïve selection of something that have happened from a mass of things that haven't, the clever interpretation of ambiguities, or a brazen announcement of the inevitable."

Etc. Unwikipedic, IMHO. Zezen (talk) 10:47, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

and this: "Popular media outlets like The New York Times have explained to their American readers that although 5000 years ago, soothsayers were prized advisers to the Assyrians, they lost respect and reverence during the rise of Reason in the 17th and 18th centuries." No reference other than the NYT is given, so "outletS" is unwarranted. And 'explain' should be "stated" or some such thing. --2607:FEA8:D5DF:1AF0:91:E984:EBBC:5E49 (talk) 10:28, 17 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
