Humanity looks like a giant experiment.
History reveals a pattern of pushing the limits. Humanity pushes the limits, and eventually we
see the results.
We push the limits of production and we get the industrial
revolution. We get less expensive,
uniformly produced items of all varieties.
In sports, we move from friendly competition to professional
athletes whose job it is to perfect bodily movements with greater strength,
endurance, speed and agility. Then we
get stress fractures, steroid abuse, and millions of onlookers who spend
billions of dollars.
In exploration, we have found virtually all there is to find
on the globe, and we can see high resolution images of virtually every spot on
the planet.
We push time to the limit.
We think that we can live with little sleep. Always busy, always on, always accessible.
We experiment with technology now. What is it like to be constantly connected to
potential interruptions? What does that
do to our minds? To our souls?
What would happen if we pushed faith to the limit?
