Probably true that we haven’t witnessed a net regression in technological progress in the 5000 years of recorded history, at least not a significant, long lasting one or universal one.

But of course the whole 10,000 years since the agricultural revolution could be viewed as deviation from the norm in the context of 300,000 years of human existence.

Even the 300,000 years of higher human intelligence could be viewed as an anomaly given 3.7 billion years of biological life. 

Suffice to say we’re very confident in our own abilities for a species that is the equivalent of a batter who hit a grand slam in the first innings of the first game of major league baseball we ever played.

We should probably play it cool for another 600 million years before we start to consider ourselves the evolutionary equivalent of Babe Ruth.

Humanity really is a miracle

Good reminder that we’re already a historic anomaly as a species
