Linear thinking is a liability in this era. We are in a technological age that is creating massive changes and dsiruptions. This is starting to affect everything.

In this video I discuss how those who can set aside the natural tendency to think linearly and embrace an exponential mindset will see where things are going. It will also position them to take advantage of opportunities presented.

You touched on something I'd like to delve a little deeper on.

"You could make the case we've always been in an exponential age".

From our discussion earlier about everything being data, and the universe possibly being a data storage/organization anomaly (?), this phrase strikes a chord.

What examples could you think of to show a direct line of evidence of the exponential growth pattern of humanity?

I mean do you think if we looked in 40, 80, 160, etc year increments there would be outstanding examples of how technology made such an impact it changed everything, and that line could be traced all the way through known history? Of course, it isn't that simple, but I think it isn't because we just don't have enough info on it yet, or if we do I don't know anyone that's putting it to use.

I would hope there's an AI bot looking into stuff like that now, but I'm not sure it falls under any particular discipline to garner pursuit.

Edit: Speaking of pursuits... I'm on a quest to make the !PIZZA & !LUV bots tell me to flake off, so enjoy enjoy some of both on me!

This is a good/interesting question. I would be also interested in the answer. I can currently think of only the industrial revolution(s), but I am not sure whether that can be "traced all the way through known history".

I think it depends on how one defines technology. The written word could be considered such (I think), as could prehistoric methods of fire preservation (also debatable(?), but I think if we don’t exclude everything that isn’t mechanical in nature, technology and evolution can sometimes be difficult to differentiate between.

I mean do you think if we looked in 40, 80, 160, year increments there would be outstanding examples

You may think of the Radio , beguinning of 20th century , most of the people at that time could not read , and the main source of info was coming from the churchs , so the radio made a huge impact on them

The 19th century saw a huge advance in chemicals , railways ... .They changed religion for science

Is not that all the times happened this , when the roman empire fell down most of western europe towns got isolated and forgot a lot of techniques and culture

Many of the bridges built by romans were the only way of cross rivers in many areas of Spain until beguinning of 20th century

So I would say that very often in the past people felt (or media told them) that they were having an unprecedent exponential change in their lifes

This is exactly what I mean. You can also toss in the printing press snd the phonograph.

But those are still mechanical, while the Roman roads/bridges example you pointed out is a much better analogy, since bridges are (technically) a natural occurrence, more so than a manufactured invention, although they’ve certainly evolved over time, with the help of humanity to become more of the latter.

Therein is the heart of what I’m looking for. Are bridges a technological advancement of man or did nature “invent” it, then use us to perfect it?

Did we domesticate wheat or did wheat domesticate us?

I don’t think we’re the end all be all we think ourselves to be. I think we’re tools like everything else in life… just doing what we gotta do like everything else, such we get the symphony we see all around us.

Technology has really made a great change mostly everything, homes, work and so on and it has affected in a big way

Summary:
In this video, the speaker discusses the concept of exponential thinking versus linear thinking in the context of technological advancements and societal changes. He emphasizes how the current era is defined by exponential growth due to the rapid advancements in technology. The speaker highlights the importance of understanding exponentiality in various aspects such as investing, careers, society, and industry, and uses examples like the rise of cryptocurrency, DeFi, and the metaverse to illustrate his points. He predicts a significant increase in the adoption of cryptocurrency worldwide, driven by the network effect and exponential growth.

Detailed Analysis:
The speaker begins by introducing the concept of exponential thinking, contrasting it with linear thinking, which he believes is no longer effective in the technological era we live in. He points out that technological advancements are accelerating at an exponential rate, leading to quick and impactful changes across different sectors.

The speaker draws examples from history such as the demise of Kodak, Blockbuster, traditional automobile makers, newspapers, and record companies to highlight the consequences of linear thinking. He emphasizes how disruptive technologies have reshaped industries, causing significant impacts on incumbents and leading to an age of abundance.

The discussion then shifts towards the exponential growth seen in the digital realm, especially with the advent of the Internet. Various examples are given, such as the disruption of traditional retail and office real estate markets, and the ease of scaling digital platforms compared to physical spaces.

The speaker delves into the potential of cryptocurrencies, DeFi, and the metaverse to create abundance through exponential growth, drawing parallels to the rise of digital giants like Amazon. He predicts a massive increase in cryptocurrency adoption globally, fueled by the growing number of internet users, and explains how exponential growth works by providing numerical examples.

Furthermore, the speaker touches on the transformative power of smartphone technology and how rapid market shifts can occur within a short period. He applies these insights to the evolving landscape of cryptocurrency and its potential for exponential adoption in the near future.

In conclusion, the speaker highlights the ongoing exponential growth in the cryptocurrency space and suggests that we may be at the cusp of a significant upward trend in adoption, leading to an age of abundance driven by network effects. The video serves as a reflection on the transformative power of exponential thinking in the current technological landscape.
