We call the ability to see what is likely to happen in the future foresight.
On the contrary to this, there is a psychological phenomenon called hindsight bias. It is the inclination, after an event has occurred, to see the event as having been predictable. In a restaurant you visit for the first time, if the food doesn’t suit your taste, you say, “I already assumed the food wasn’t going to be good.” If someone makes a mistake, you say, “I knew it.” If a big accident occurs, the press reports that it was an expected man-made disaster. These can be referred to as hindsight.
What is interesting is that even though people didn’t expect at all or predicted in the opposite way before something happened, they say the same thing. If they usually have such an attitude, they come to trust their judgment so much that they may mistake that they have foresight. No matter what it is, after the result is produced, we can see everything clearly. We should have a humble mind to learn lessons from the past rather than thinking in hindsight.
