Paradox of Prediction
A thought experiment: Imagine that four degrees of prediction lie on a spectrum. Starting with absolute certainty, and progressing to complete uncertainty, that spectrum cycles back on itself to become a feedback loop: prediction breaks the rules of logic, paradoxically contradicting its “self.” Zann Gill counterposes Lewis Mumford’s question about linear projections, typical of future forecasting, with Ray Kurzweil’s prediction in The Singularity is Near that accelerating feedback loops are converging toward the Singularity.
