Paradoxes there are at logic and math. At programing languages we have bugs or features :))

Higher universe levels are needed first of all for more abstract programming.


P.S. By the way, we don't need have extra TupleList, we have already list!

 t3 :: [ (Int :: **) -> (Bool ->  Bool -> Bool :: **) -> (String :: **) ]
 t3 = [42 :: Int, (&&), "This is true *** type" ]

  > :k t3
*

  > head t3
42 :: Int

  > (head $ tail t3) True True
  True :: Bool

The higher universe levels are mostly "used" to stave off logical paradoxes in languages where you care about that kind of stuff. In a fundamentally impredicative language like Haskell I don't see much point, but I'd be happy to find there is one :)

 The right one is `instance Functor TupleList where ...`
