Moore's law has been in my mind as of late. It states that the rate of growth of transistors and processing power doubles itself exponentially.
I came across a great set of podcasts about artificial intelligence and the development of a hardware/organic entity and it's implications in our immediate future. Take a good look at our progress in history and our progress in the last 200 hundred years. We're on a mad race of novelty which will lead us to a technological singularity. McKenna, the Mayans, the Olympics geez, things are coming ahead within the next 6 years. Then again, when aren't they coming you could say.
But you cannot deny that things are speeding up, new technology is coming out every week and the world is like a stretched out rubber band. Back in the middle ages life as almost static, things people only knew one set of things and kept going. Now I find myself resetting my belief structure every other day.
Well lets make this post a posiblility window into our future.

Hey, I just left a comment but I think I did it in the wrong place - I don't see it showing up.
Anyway, that Terrence McKenna radio show was incredible! Thanks for that! Let me know if you find more from him. I will listen to that AI thing too.
