Corporates put up quarterly goals and make their employees work towards a known end.
People read reviews/see photos of the place they want to visit, well before they even leave their home.
Stock investors punish a stock/country that does not have 'predictability'!
Humans ( most of them ) by nature do not seem to prefer surprises and want a known end.
There is a flip side. The power of open end.
Its the power of 'Open Endedness' that lets creators make something none imagined before.
It enables algorithms with 'unsupervised learning' to identify patterns that none thought existed.
It enables travellers 'discover' places/people that they never read/seen before.
It enables 'seekers' to delve into the 'little known' in their search for truth and self inquiry.
Do not be 'close ended' all the time! You might be replaced by a Robot very soon!!!
