Intelligence at web scale

Philippe Verdoux

What I find especially exciting about cognitive enhancement technologies is the possibility of redefining the boundary between mysteries and problems.

To recap

Thus even though our knowledge is expanding exponentially, our questions are expanding exponentially faster. And as mathematicians will tell you, the widening gap between two exponential curves is itself an exponential curve. That gap between questions and answers is our ignorance, and it is growing exponentialy.  In other words, science is a method that chiefly expands our ignorance rather than our knowledge.
