Yes, I think this is a direct result of a difficulty in understanding exponential progress. In the early part of the curve people think it will never happen. At the beginning of noticeable exponential growth they think it will never be good enough. Then while it is exploding they want things to just stay the same.

Yeah. I can understand finding it scary, but the pessimism exhausts me, especially since it's so pointless. Nobody has any solutions, just fear and hate.
