You still haven't addressed my objection that you are making a large, unjustified inductive leap. You have identified some key moments in human history, which you argue are roughly 1500 years apart. What makes me believe that the next big leap will occur in the year 2200, or whenever the next 1500 year point gets here? The logic behind this conclusion is inductive. I am skeptical of prediction. Why is your method of prediction better than, for example, that of economists who try to predict the Fed's next move?

By the way, thanks for increasing your font size.
