Just look how advanced technology has become in the past 100 years and it's increasing exponentially.......
With that being said, I suspect that some cataclysmic event will happen within the next 100 years that will reset the human population to whatever nature deems necessary.......
I believe that cataclysmic event you refer to will happen a lot sooner than 100 years from now.
There have been at least two reset events that I know of, and both had to do with major scientific knowledge/technology we’ve had in the past & our propensity to do evil with it.
IMHO, we’re close to achieving that same level of technology that those previous civilizations had.
Much sooner!
Ray Kurzweil predicts the singularity (AI being as intelligent as humans) by 2029, and mortality “escape velocity” (biotechnology advancing fast enough to keep a human alive forever) in the early 2030s.
I swear, I read last night about a quantum computer that was increasing at double exponential.
I read it in Discover Magazine in an article titled: "The Rules Of The Road To Quantum Supremacy by Stephan Ornes.
They spoke of Neven's Law, Nevens Law: Paradigm Shift In Quantum Computers
