progess

lets assume we have exponential growth, and that as we grow we put safegaurds in place as we realize flaws and risks associated with our growth. growth drives growth. safegaurds are behind by some time, lets ignore that most safegaurds are legislative and thus naturally wouldnt be able to keep up as bottlenecks clog. Even permitting that there will still be a lag of time between preventing catastrophe.

this is something Ive thought much about, and yet another things Ive just determined is a risk we have to live with for progress. at some point risks arise, and there is no ideal way to mitigate them. so we live with it. its funny.
