In beginning to read {Progress of the human mind” by Condorcet, I am struck with yet another observation.

It has been referred to in many other of the works I have been reading and has been addressed in different ways – that is, the observation within his statement of “the progress of the human species must have been extremely slow; it could make no advance but at distant intervals, and when favored by extraordinary circumstances.”

Immediately I am reassured of my own observations – even then, such that is regarded as “progress” ran through cycles and met with obstacles much in the same manner that is obvious in our day and age. Many of which have been amplified with the advent of the electrical age and the industrial revolution.

Such tells me immediately that it is very much a form of displacement to some degree, and as well in conjunction to and with a much larger process which is at least similar to that which I have observed and titled Proximity Gestation.

It is very much cyclical to some degree. I also can see how modern technological emulation of this process has hastened its motion – further through the illusion within said emulation, of progress, while constricting the “area” of its concern.

08-16-2006 I have made great realizations and progress within understanding this effect, as I have recorded in more recent notes…through further and more in depth exploration of the subject matter in consideration with other aspects of development and modern society – as I will include in future document form.

Hence, the “bottle neck” effect I have illustrated concerning capacity and the development and use of it.

In this statement, he reinforces my observation of that change in connectivity/thought as well as substantiating much more of what I have observed quite naturally.

In his day, a person wanted more leisure time for things such as meditations – thought – exercise of intellect and similar explorations. Our modern day is filled with the increasing want of “leisure time” to be filled with artificial stimulations.

I would like to point out as well – that through observation of history and human progress – a person can see where these intervals become less and less farther apart as we “progress.” The more we seem to have “advanced,” the less time there seems to be between those advances and “extraordinary circumstances” which he cites as fueling the surge of them.

It seems as though they have become increasingly more frantic as well – at times even appearing as an ongoing happening within the speed of our modern day.

This pattern in conjunction with the artificial emulation of it – advancing at a faster rate within that emulation – acts to create very precarious situations. As if trying to step with both feet, in two different directions simultaneously with one of your shoes laced too tightly.
