This exponential growth indicates that the global brain is evolving faster than ever.
The speaker notes that technological advancements double their power roughly every 18 months. It’s conceivable that, within the next decade, computers might reach human-level intelligence, accelerating the pace of integration. The expectation is not solely about linking minds but also linking hearts—fostering empathy, compassion, and a shared sense of purpose across humanity.
