Is it kind of like intellectual punctuated equilibrium? That's what it
looks like to me -- there's a prevailing worldview for a period of time,
and then a shift over a relatively short period, and then a different
stable worldview for awhile. But the shifts seem to be coming faster
recently. Maybe we're heading toward a singularity.
