There's a phenomenon going on right now (at least to me). Everything is speeding up. Even the process of speeding up is speeding up. That video I posted said something about how information is doubling every two years or whatever. That's pretty ridiculous. The baller method of transportation used to be a carriage back in the day. Now it's common for people to fly from one continent to another. Even at an individual level, more is demanded out of people than ever before. So why is everything speeding up?

I think in high school I learned something about how when anything heats up, the molecules or whatever start moving faster. When you turn the oven on, the oven gains energy but it can't go anywhere. The energy density increases and you get a hot oven. In our world, the earth is our oven. We can send shit out into our atmosphere and beyond, but we still have our entire world population stuck on earth. Earth is starting to get hot right now, and unless we find a way to vent out stuff, shit is going to start melting. It does seem ridiculous spending billions of tax money just to send some people out to space, but maybe an absolute necessity when the survival of mankind is of any interest.
