Metacognition Defined

Heard a great idea today. It is on its way to becoming a meme in my mind:

In reference to the science of artificial intelligence, it was about how adherents believe it will be here in five to ten years
and it will be defined by its own existence
and will change the world at that point
and possibly subjugate humanity.

The meme part is how similar that list is for religion. You could interchange the two nouns. The list changes dramatically and remains the same.

To me the definition
of metacognition
lies in that contradiction.
