<Welcome to the end of the beginning of the global post-industrial economy. >
What's amazing is how we are living through technological and economic changes, combined with political glasnost and a world record human population which makes the industrial revolution look trivial, yet few seem aware of the scale and drama of the changes. I suppose that's because our daily lives seem to change not much at all from one year to the next.
But there's an exponentiality to the process and while initially the changes are slow, when it's all absorbed, added up and full-blown, it'll be nothing short of fantastic. I doubt that many humans will even understand what's going on. Half of them still don't get the industrial revolution and support Ted Kaczynski and the Luddites, though they don't realize it.
The Biotelecosmictechdot.com revolution is the biggest thing, not since the Industrial Revolution, not since sliced bread, or the invention of the wheel, money or anything or everything else since the invention of agriculture and the end of the ice age, nor even the separation of humans from chimpoid antecedents into significantly sentient beings, nor even of sexual reproduction. This is bigger than the invention of organic molecules linking themselves into a double helix at the dawn of biology and life itself.
What's fascinating, not to mention suspicious, is that we are here today witnessing the process up close and personal in real-time. What's more fascinating is that the overall scope of the process is barely noticed by nearly everyone. Sure, Ray Kurzweil, Stephen Hawking, Bill Joy and a few others have ranted a little about it. But they don't want to appear extremist I suppose.
This is BIG!
All hail It.
