Does it really take 4000 years to build a cell phone?

bla-bla-bla...

Based on what? They were living in the bronze age so how were they supposed to advance anywhere except improving on what existed at the time?

Clearly he's challenging our current mainstream understanding of what constitutes the technology and capbilities of man during 'The Bronze Age'.

Damn English keep getting caught up in their semantically hopeless language

innovation is based on imagination...if you can't imagine it, how in the hell can you build it? Nothing is impossible. Just think, our children's children will wonder WTF is up with those cell phones? Who knows what they will be using to reach out and touch someone.

My future cell phone is like that Star Trek communicator badge. Just tap and say who you want to call. That's it. Who needs to text?

hell yeah

innovators today are forced to work upon pre-existing circuits/systems based on PREVIOUS innovations based on PREVIOUS conceptions and constraints. they need to learn a complex mess of systems based on the ideas/inspirations/revelations/psychological weaknesses of previous inventors before they can make incremental improvements. the circuitry we design are only as perfect as those that our neurons run on in our brain. if we have some irrational, emotionally driven impulse, that i feel registers as a logical fallacy. it is these that we attempt to work around in designing circuits.

the geniuses are never sucked into this mainstream loop and innovate on a completely different level. they are ostracized and mocked until their peers are finally able to man up and admit they were wrong. sucks to have years of work crumble away because you were told to work around a seemingly false premise.

if we are able to gain a birds-eye view of how our incredibly (potentially) efficient brain works, there is nothing to stop us from designing their counterparts in our physical reality. this of course ties in to developing related spiritual powers.
