Comment on Ask HN: What are your predictions for the next 50 years?

Comments

Started as a joke here on HN, there is a series of predictions based on a numerical correspondence between the intervals [1436,+\infty) and [1969,+\infty), where:

- 1436 is the invention of the printing press and

- 1969 is the start of the ARPANET.

Many of them are postdictions (to validate the correspondence) but the funny thing is that the series ends in the year 2024, where there is a sort of singularity, because the interval [1436,1969] maps to [1969,2024].
