Limited future, not a prediction of the future.
If the future is seen as an unknown answer for ordinary people, people could set a target expectation through imagination and fill in the current value through personal efforts and objective conditions. Eventually, they would obtain an answer that either aligns with or deviates from their expectations.
However, for a limited future, the answer is preset from the very beginning. The only task is to infer the value from the answer.
Although it may sound simple, it is actually an unattainable paradox.
