<human>: I was listening to a podcast today by Bill Simmons, a sportswriter, and he and another writer, Chuck Klosterman, were talking about Linsanity. They started discussing why there was so much hype. The usual things were ran through - the Asian-American"ness", the Harvard east-coast liberal arts school relate-ability, and finally, Chuck Klosterman started talking about a story about John Lennon. The story goes that John Lennon was watching the results of the 1972 presidential election, and was shocked that Nixon won - so shocked, in fact, that he essentially raped a woman. Chuck Klosterman goes on to say this:

"But that scenario today can't even happen. There's nothing that wouldn't be understood, or accurately predicted... I'm sure that if Nate Silver were around with that kind technology, he would have got the electoral vote exactly, exactly right... And I wonder if people... If a part of us is secretly sad, that everything about our life now, can basically be told before it happens. And every time we see these situations, like Tebow and Lin, where it just makes no sense whatsoever, and everyone was wrong, it makes people happy."

Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?
<bot>: what is the correct term for the joy that someone gets from an unprecedented occurrence, due to the fact that almost everything can be predicted beforehand in today's society?
