But if science is becoming exponentially harder and we are making linear scientific progress, then wouldn't that imply that scientific endeavors are increasing exponentially?
- fchollet 13y agoEmpirically, they are. As a civilization we are investing exponentially more in science over time, which is mentioned in the article.

Matter is buggy, less elegant, event-driven (whereas emergence (acausality) might help). We're investigating exponentially more if we remain vigilant in preserving the materialist's conceptual scheme.
