Same can be said of the "suns" in the tradition...
The focus of the age also seems to change, from pure abstract power to pure material power, truth is only the ones within the illusion of "total power" dare to express absolutes, when nothing really "is" anything at all.
great comments from everyone!
and from very different angles

Allow me to compare the noosphere to a human brain. The denser and more prolific our dendrites, the greater the number of neural nodes, the richer and more complex the connections formed between those nodes, the better for the brain's propensity to understand and generate ideas. Our nodes number in the billions, were they less, we would find our ability to think proportionally diminished.
What if we transfer that model to mass consciousness? Never before in the history of our species have we had both billions of potential nodes, and the technological means for each node to communicate with others en masse. Simply put, our noosphere may be primed to boot up to full capacity at this very special moment in time.
Upside to the population explosion? Maybe. I'm not sold on the idea, but think it's certainly worth examining.edit on 18-5-2011 by mistermonculous because: -h
