I totally get where you are coming from, and 100% agree, but you don't understand me at all. I'm not talking about data.

I'm talking about the world as a complex system of physics, chemistry, biology, society, politics, economics, digitalics (lol we need a new word for the digital world), its history, present, future. I think about how the technology is progressing on an exponential curve.

We NEED to be thinking about things at this level. Just look where the world is headed!

A quote from wiki: "accelerating change is the observed exponential nature of the rate of technological change in recent history, suggest faster and more profound change in the future and may or may not be accompanied by equally profound social and cultural change."
