The Case Against the Singularity
- PaulHoule 6y agoTake a look at the differential equation dx/dt = x^2 which is outrageous in many ways -- it blows up for some particular t. It grows "faster than exponential" close to the singularity but "alower than exponential" far from it. Some people wonder if the equation has something to do with why most one horse towns are now two horse towns while others are much bigger: the 'failures' are far out to the right side of that curve.
