"Where Does Our Information Come From?"

From Blake Stacey, via Mark Liberman:

(Apparently inspired by an irritable PZ looking at a different -- though similar in appearance -- chart that presumably was serious.)

(Previous paragraph edited for clarity. I hope.)

What is PZ getting bent about? Isn't the graph *meant* to be a joke? Or does he think they are really claiming the Ray Kurweil will be a source of the information we get?

I guess I should have been clearer in my post, but as I said, PZ was reacting to a "similar picture." If you go look at PZ's post, you'll see it really is some sort of hand-wavy science-y thing. The picture Blake made that I posted was a joke, derived from the original, evidently in response to (in support of) PZ.

Updated the post. Thanks for indicating it wasn't clear.
