They got run over eventually by people with very low quality of consciousness. But they were there as an example. And then more things happened.

Yes, exactly. So what you find is that the change is accelerating. And if you see something that accelerates with a very low value, but it starts like one... millimeter per year, but it's accelerating. It keeps getting faster. Well, what that curve looks like is it's like this. It goes up, up, up. It gets, the change gets faster and faster and faster because acceleration goes as a square.

It's exponential. And anyway, that's where we are. About 500 years ago, we started making bigger steps. We didn't have the warlord mentality. you know, century after century after century after millennia, it started changing some. And the curve started getting faster. Now we're at that part of the curve where we're starting to get to the knee where it turns.

And the information age brought that in. It's all about information. Right? Information. You're getting a data stream. It's information. So this curve is getting less and it's going up faster and faster. And now we're at this part where the knee of the curve and it starts to shoot up. And over about the next 40 years or so, we're going to be rounding that curve.

Now, one thing that you can know about change is that if change happens slowly, it's usually benign and everybody kind of gets it eventually and changes. And you only realize the change when you look back and say, oh, that's a lot of change. Gee, back at the time when there were no cell phones, gee, I wonder how those people got by, you know.

You look back at it and you see it, but it wasn't something that rocked you. But now, the next 40 years, we're going to see change at a pace that we've never – we're in that fast part where it turns. And there's going to be a lot of changes. And if we can get this idea that we need to cooperate, we need to care, we need to work together, it's not just about you. Self-centeredness is dysfunctional.
