- CatWChainsaw 3y agoExponential curves usually prove to be sigmoid given enough time, so at least we can hope for that.
- feoren 3y agoI'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.
- CatWChainsaw 3y agoNot sure how much more humanity/civilization/the planet can take if we're still accelerating.
- voldacar 3y agoThis is true, by the Bekenstein bound.
- astrange 3y agoWell, not earthquakes. And hopefully not runway collisions either.
