Christ. 2024 really coming in hot, we get a 7.6 magnitude earthquake on day 1, bombings killing over 100 people on day 2, and this shit again on day 3.

  A key effect of exponential growth is that more things will happen each year.

    Exponential curves usually prove to be sigmoid given enough time, so at least we can hope for that.

      I'd go so far as to say all apparently exponential curves are actually sigmoid, but the asymptote of the sigmoid often increases itself (in another, longer-term sigmoid). But I don't think we're anywhere near the carrying capacity of weird shit happening; we're still firmly in the exponential-ish zone of human development.

        Not sure how much more humanity/civilization/the planet can take if we're still accelerating.

      This is true, by the Bekenstein bound.

    Well, not earthquakes. And hopefully not runway collisions either.
