Exponential Evolution

Interesting TED

http://www.ted.com/talks/ray_kurzweil_on_how_technology_will_transform_us.html

This idea that evolution is an exponential process and takes place on all levels of advancement perhaps defining our age. Things are happening more quickly but now the quickness is apparent to our small life spans. What evolutionists miss is that their picture is only an. Everything is speeding up and each gain is merely quicker, but is the entire history of the previous epoch condensed into a smaller period. You can see this in exponential graphs-any portion looks like the larger. Anyway, there's a lot more that can be said about this, linking post-modernism with modern science and mysticism along with my own experience, but that's briefly what I"m getting out of this TED talk, which is ostensibly only about technological progress (though this progress, for Ray Kurzweil, seems to be the paramount thing when we're talking about the expansion of human cociousness and the future "utopian" (or post-apocalyptic-take your pick) society.)

Personally, I think its much more far reaching and has to do with cosmic events that we are entering along with human development. Evolutionists and creationists are both wrong, in my opinion.


Update: His graph is amazing! "Moore's law is just an example of a larger law."


I guess what I said was that every part looks the same isn't true. Zooming in makes the exponential look flat. But that means you have exponentials of exponentials onward until infinity!
