I misunderstood your reply and thought you were saying “I have a very definitive view of the future” has a tvtropes so I Googled it.

Interestingly, a different Bloomberg article from June has a slightly different version of the Mostaque quote, was also questioned by a commenter on HN, and "emadm" (I'm assuming that's him) responded: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36512994

Edit: There's a third article with the same quote too: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-06-28/stability...

That's three articles within 6 weeks by Rachel Metz and Mark Bergen using the same quote. I found it interesting too but that's a bit much (and lazy).
