Thomas Johnston:

to affect the future that we anticipate.

Things are a bit more nuanced: we deal with the future in a variety of ways. Indeed: to guess, to expect, to forecast, premonition, foresight and prediction are different. And anticipation is different from all I mentioned (left out prolepsis, and a bunch of others).

Temporal predictions in the brain inform many of our choices. These are autonomic processes.

After reading the short note in Medicalxpress (and probably some of my work on anticipation) you would laugh even more.
