WoW! that's huge, instantly delivering seemingly all but one of the things for visualizing change I've been dreaming of.... That one thing though, is kind of big. For some reason the whole presentation is devoid of any reference to or awareness of the natural development cycle, how innovations begin and end. All he mentions that's a little related is that "the concept of economy is growth with percent". All this wisdom..... and perpetual exploding increase of complexity and consumption in real terms is still the model! Yes indeed, it does make a difference how you choose to aggregate your data. All his charts are distributions for one thing. Those are not 'real terms'.
