Our world is doubling in complexity, consistently and relentlessly. We are exposed to more information in one day than the average person was exposed to in an entire lifetime a little over a hundred years ago. And that continues to double consistently and relentlessly --- multiply 2 by 2 once per minute for an hour, and you will experience for yourself the consequences of consistent doubling.
And we adapt.
Our brains develop, re-wire, our psyches expand connecting more dots... getting more complex, creating more complexity. Complexity driving complexity, doubling consistently and relentlessly.
Is it going to stop, will the train finally arrive at the station. Will the bubble pop. Will life return to the sedentary pace of the 1920's. Is it reasonable to assume it will. Can progress be stopped?
In part the solution lies in new cultural systems, technologies and patterns of behaviour, but it's the human psyche which designs, executes and administers such systems.
New ways of thinking, new motives for engaging, new skills and talents all depending on new levels of personal 'psychological' mastery.
The inner personal psychological world is the new frontier.
