Singularity:
Because technology uses the technology invented to reach the next step, we get smarter exponentially, that means we have 100 years of evolution in only 25 years. Then the next 100 years of evolution will be in 14 or so years, then 7 years then 3 and a half. At this rate of exponential growth mathematically this translates into 20,000years of technology evolution in the 100 years that comprise the 21st century. No Kidding.
At this rate of technology evolution we have to dream bigger, and invent what will be, not what is.
Nature is wastefull Nature is wastefull.
Evolution is random
Birth is Painful
In a world of chaos, only randomness wins.
a single dandelion may produce 2,000 seeds per year, indiscriminately firing them off into the sky at the slightest breeze, without any care for where the seeds are heading and whether they'll get an hospitable reception when they touch down.
