ARTICLE: Estimate of the Current Situation

So, I’ve been making a lot of radical claims for the past several years that had a lot of people doubting my sanity. Maybe a lot of people still do, but it’s getting increasingly difficult not to see at least some of these weird notions of mine going mainstream.

Here’s a partial list of some of my bizarre delu…er, I mean my carefully-researched theses.


• The age of technological and scientific breakthroughs is over and has been for a while now. All the low-hanging fruit has been plucked and all we’re seeing now is hype, if not outright lies. DARPA and astronomers are particularly egregious offenders here.

• The current digital technology that powers our world today was all devised in a very short period of time in a handful of locations (Bell Labs, Lincoln Labs, etc) by a small, insular group of people.
