"Rapid change means we can’t just listen to parents or sages. Nor can we just follow every new fad: most are pre-failure experiments and many were crafted to benefit others at our expense, memetic boarders who must repelled lest they sink our mental ship." #MySecretWritingProject

How rapid is today’s change? More rapid than in say the 1920s?
The absolute number of inventions continues to increase, and tech change causes social/cultural change. Internet + smartphones seems to me to have more profound social impact than anything in the 20s. Great Depression was a big change, but temporary (like large wars).

Cars, planes, ubiquitous electricity, telephony and light? Not sure about chronology but I think these changes are taken for granted today. Do you think the internet is more important than all of these things?
