1/ Our brains are hardwired for a world that no longer exists.

Technology accelerates exponentially while our intuitions are built for a linear world.

This mismatch is a big part of why we feel overwhelmed. Here’s an unlock I’ve been using: 🧵

2/ For 99% of human history, effort was linear.

🥾 Walk twice as far → Takes twice as long.
🍓 Gather twice the food → Takes twice the work.

Our minds were built to understand this. We expect straight lines.

3/ But the world now runs on curves.

This is the exponential pace of change in AI, biotech, and computing. It’s why our linear intuition breaks, and trying to predict the future suddenly feels like a hallucination.

6/ The pace of change is shrinking the window of predictability.
What felt like 25 years of change (2000-2025) might now happen in 2 (2025-2027).

The goal is no longer to predict the distant future, but to build robustly in the present.

5/ This isn't about thinking smaller. It's about thinking smarter.

An impossible 10-year future paralyzes you with abstraction.

A concrete 10-month future energizes you with action.

It yanks you out of an unknowable future and into a manageable present.

yeah, design systems sustainable in the context of failed expectations — the new basis. 

also a pretty cool thought:
the technology development process will have to be reorganized and optimized in order to take in account the chances of the next higher level breakthroughs because they may devalue any progress achieved according to the advancement plan for the current tech. 

we’ll have to skip a lot of interesting stuff we could enjoy a few decades otherwise lol (think the regular car model releases vs the concept car models already been designed and built). will we jump directly to “the concept car” tech as a result?

4/ So, how do you navigate this?

Stop trying to predict the chaos. The key is to shorten your time horizon.

I call it The 10-Month Rule (ht: @Bitcoin_Sage):

❌ Stop making 10-year plans.
✅ Start making 10-month plans.

I think exponential growth has always been organically encoded in the synergies, the cooperation of the idividuals is the core I guess. tho yeah it may look and feel linear for a human in the beginning — is that what you mean?
