Now by the way, if you look at this on a linear graph, it looks like everything has just happened, but some observer says, "Well, Kurzweil just put points on this graph that fall on that straight line." So, I took 15 different lists from key thinkers, like the Encyclopedia Britannica, the Museum of Natural History, Carl Sagan's Cosmic Calendar on the same — and these people were not trying to make my point; these were just lists in reference works, and I think that's what they thought the key events were in biological evolution and technological evolution.
Некоторые стали утверждать, что я просто ставлю на график точки так, чтобы он попадали на прямую. Тогда я взял 15 авторитетных источников на эту тематику – Британская энциклопедия, Музей естественной истории, космический календарь Карла Сагана, – замечу, что эти источники не имели цель продвигать мою точку зрения.
