I think by the rate of change is increasing he is viewing it as an accelerating system, and if he sees our cultures ability to absorb change as linear, then it is obvious that his first statement is clearly true.Edited by slevesque, : No reason given.

I'm just trying to explain what he meant. If he thinks both assertions are the case, then his conclusion is correct.I think we can all agree that technological progress is looking (from a layman POV) as exponential.The question then becomes if our cultures ability to absorb change follows a similar pattern or is linear. Unfortunately this seems to be a very hard thing to quantify/analyse, although from my once again layman POV it does seem to be linear.Edited by slevesque, : No reason given.
