I'm trying to find a video lecture I watched about 6 months ago about how Austrian predictions and mainstream predictions are different in nature.  That is, Austrian predictions are apodictically certain under ceteris paribus conditions, while mainstream predictions are 'real world' based, falsifiable, and based on projecting trends from statistical data.

I can't remember the lecture, or much else about it, except that it was definitely on this site.

Is this sounding familiar to anyone?  TIA.

Hmm, could have been any of the many lectures on praxeology or methodology, in general.

Mark Thornton did one on business cycles, or praxeology and prediction at last year's Mises U. I recorded a video of it actually, so I know he did. I've been too lazy to put it up online, but will give it another go if you'd like.

Would that be this one?  http://mises.org/media/4019  I'm listening to this right now.  I don't think it's the one, but it is similar.
