The world of 2120 is going to be radically different. All we're doing is getting more blades from our flint. We are richer, have better technology, but the fundamentals are quite similar: we're on the same curve.
The world of 2020 is more or less the same as the world of 1920. Things are decelerating: economic growth is falling, fertility is cratering, and IQ shredders are quickly using up the finite biological substrate necessary to sustain our upward path. Where are we today? It's hard to say without the benefit of hindsight, but it sure feels like the upper half of an s-curve. Can what is playing you make it to level-2? The stone-age singularity was the end of stone. Note the logarithmic y-axis-the growth is not exponential but hyperbolic! Of course what appears to be a singularity is really the lower half of an s-curve, but that was enough to trigger a paradigm shift to a new, higher curve: bronze. Here's one of my favorite charts, showing growth in how much cutting edge could be produced from 1kg of flint during the stone age: 1 The history of the world is a history of s-curves stacked on top of each other. ] Level-1 or world space is an anthropomorphically scaled, predominantly vision-configured, massively multi-slotted reality system that is obsolescing very rapidly.Ĭan what is playing you make it to level-2?
