in reply to On Hubris

Okay several things in no particular order. Thanks for all the responses. I am not exactly sure how to reply. I'll try to get to some of them.

While it doesn't seem like I need to clarify much there were some things I forgot to add that will go here. One was an analogy between this and the adage of the 25 year-old who is on top of things. When he hits 35 he realizes how wrong he was. etc. etc. "If I knew then what I knew now...". And then if that was applicable, the whole computer-thing accelerating that into the observed pattern.

These occurred to me earlier, not quite as great as japh. But kinda neat:
