There is no reason to believe that "Knowledge is a unified whole" and that advancements in technology would parallel advancements in morality. Human history has plenty of examples of technological superiority wiping out relatively peaceful groups. This blog seems to spew all kinds of over-confident snippets: "To have a maximally creative society, you have to have freedom, you have to have liberty, and therefore you will have a non-violent society." Freedom and liberty lead inexorably to... non-violence? That is at least naive. The boundary of individual liberty is where conflict happens. If everyone has unbounded liberty you can expect unbounded conflict. Then there is this post which does some nearly-worthless math to conclude that life is extremely rare: nav.al/existence. Maybe wrong, maybe right, but a very shallow thought.
