Dave Brown - My arm is a timeline lyrics

I want you to imagine my arm is a timeline And here is the start of defined time in the middle is all of civilized life when sentience entered into the pipeline about 50,000 years of cities, towns and theories up until we're the ones in the limelight that's fine, right? ok so then after this hindsight we have the millions and millions of years of future where billions of civilians will be soon, yeah? now given this opinion and since computers are getting better and better according to moore's law they'll exponentially develop eventually exceeding the power of a human brain around eleven more years at the concluded rate, but anyway if you could wait a little longer, it'd be true to say that computers gain the cumulative brain power of the human race - so soon you could make a simulation of nature; a virtual universe that for all intents and purposes is basically a version of the world, like the matrix. So just to clarify, past, there's centuries of present here, then potentially there's several million years of future where you can emulate a world within your brain. ok Now with that said. Is it more likely to hear that you were born within this relatively tiny time period, or that you're currently in these millions of years here trying to find an interesting experience is it more probable that you are one of just 7 billion people living in this follicle or that you're a part of the phenomenal volume of humans in this anthropological future The logical conclusion seems obvious. cause you know when you finally come to the thought that the whole of science, culture and law are compressed into a tiny mole on my forearm compared to the aeons ahead of us, it seems like some serious evidence. Well, if we a**ume that between here and my wrist that humans don't go nearly extinct through nuclear war or there are more new brutal transgenic diseases we're not immune to that cause a pandemic to cease us, and that it would be just too much to suggest that around about here on this appendage that anarchy proceeds an unprecedented level of ma** unemployment and overpopulation, or that pollution makes the ozone stop negating UV radiation... and we rule out a new ice age and any orbital invasions from horrible aliens then our next probable destination as a species is technological innovation to the degrees I described. If anything, it seems more contrived to imply that our lives started right at the time in which science made strides and it finally guided society to new heights. Now you might just be finding this mighty exciting... or denying it's likely and try criticising... but I will remind you that I'm just describing an idea I think is quite an inspiring one. And the icing on the cake is the enticing implications But an*lysing them can wait for another time on another day Yes, moore's law was just a prediction so all this thought is potentially fictional and even if we did invent this pivotal instrument capable of inflicting our cranium with pictures of places, which sounds ace, it only takes us up until the sun swells and makes this planet bake and frazzle unless we seriously work on our space travel But hey, have a think about it; I just think it's an interesting concept I thought up that I wanted to share. Oh I forgot to say; hi! I'm Dave - and now I'll wave you goodbye with these aeons of time.
