I hate to make everything on nostr about bitcoin but thinking about the progress of human knowledge reminds me of the fractal of the bitcoin price.
Always looking at the chart seeing this enormous run up and thinking that we must be at the pinnacle. Then four years later to see that as hardly a blip compared to the new price. And then again as the pattern repeats.
Its like that with knowledge. Seeing the exponential growth from where we have come but then maybe stagnating or having a "progress bear market". Thinking that we have already seen the top. The all time high of human progress. Only for a new breakthrough to push us to a realm previously thought impossible. nostr.fmt.wiz.biz
