    Rationalist meme circa 2015. Graph of world GPD over the last 2k years: "My life is pretty typical, I have a good grasp of what is normal vs weird, and people imagining very different futures with digital people and AI and space travel are indulging themselves in silly sci-fi speculation."

    what is even the point of this graph? GDP is a nonsensical metric that barely tells anything about the economy, let alone society and technology.

      GDP is the metric of more, that's all they are concerned about

        i think it's not meant too literally, more like a meme, to make fun of people who say sci-fi will forever stay sci-fi while at the same time things change very quickly.

              We're still ignoring the history of all flight and rocketry prior to the invention of the heavier than air aircraft, I see.

              Right, we have a glider back in 1853, and rockets forever (thanks war!). Just took a little extra time to put it all together.

                Mid 90s were great. You had music in the mornings and then Beavis and Butthead, ren and stimpy, and Daria during the day. Unfortunately, they sprinkled in some RR reality TV shows, which was probably the beginning of the end.

                  If it's true that these two photographs are only separated by 66 years, does that mean that NASA faked the moon landing on the beach at Kitty Hawk?

                    In other news, this is what computers looked like 66 years ago. Where/when did we go astray?

                              you could substitute almost any other graph. This isn't about GDP really, just about change.

                                Even if you don't care about money, you shouldn't be feeling like you're on steady well-trodden ground if you live on the side of a steep slope like this. The same would go for e.g. scientific output (however that's measured), world population, agricultural output, and so on.
