Exponentially Human

'Exponentially Human' - the underlying thought being that, stuck as we are with Mickey Mouse in a version of  Fantasia's brooms/buckets scene (relentless technical innovation, driven by the structural mechanisms of tech VC incubators), we cannot just sit back and watch the exponential changes these bring with them. We have to understand that although human hardware is not going to evolve on the same timescale, we are capable of 'upgrading' our software - our culture.

We've done it before, with things like the invention of writing, mathematics, mono-theistic religion, the printing press, money, the scientific method, 'the unconscious mind'. And we need to do it again - one the basis, I believe, of consciously working out how to use digital technologies to enable us to be better humans.
