“An army of Einsteins and von Neumann's in constant, rapid communication that never sleeps, never forgets, and never dies.“

I wonder how fruitful those conversations would be if one already knows everything the other one knows. I think it may become something more like an einstein-level intelligence with an army of bodies to explore with. A hivemind.

Thank you for your comment, it has given me new ideas to ponder. And I agree. We would not need unbounded exponential growth to drastically shape our reality.
