On the decreasing velocity of innovation

[weev]

Look at the devices you have available to you and ask yourself which basic technological advancements they are built upon. Every year we get a better piece of plastic, metal and glass from China to carry around. The software that runs on this ever-improving piece of plastic is certainly better than last year's software. Something is getting better

If you could censor my previous comment from "Also, as a" to "to this day :-/" and just have it read "I insist, absolutely insist that you read the book Hard Time, today. That guy was similarly railroaded just like you by a prosecution and legal system totally out of fucking control."

I never thought that the advancement of humankind had plateaued before. Mostly because people keep telling me how much its still advancing due to the shiny things you described. It really is all bullshit. Thanks for bringing that to my attention, jerk.

Over a decade ago was listening to Nocturnus, a song about travelling back in time to kill christ

>Mastering the forces of teleportation
>Gaining the secrets to travel through time
>Approaching the vortex, chronometer reading 0 B.C

Now looking back into age-old stories. The past was about greater things than Christ, we were more interested in studying from "The Abyss" (1989, the movie) than "The Bible" ( 0, the non-jew edition). Time machines were more useful since we had thought our past was guaranteed - so why the fuck would we study the ways of men with stones? It is important not to forget our primitives ...

>Merging with the past
>Shock waves rip the continuum
>How long can one last, traveling a millennium?

You know I've always admired how well you express words, Mr. weev. It sucks that you have to face this shit - you deserve so much better. Wish I could attend that part (??) there but blah I'm still stuck up North.
