quantumduck and I have been having an extended debate about How Much Trouble We're In. I think we as a culture are in serious trouble, and he seems to think that the current difficulties are little more than the normal growing pains. I have been deeply offended by how lightly he has taken the political swing to the right, and I suspect he in turn has been shocked by how little faith I have in the public as a whole. This, along with an extended riff on the Myth of Progress that has cropped up in several places recently, has led me to the following terribly geeky question:
[Poll #1113121]
Yes, I understand that for the majority of my readers the correct answer is probably a complex fractal version of one of these. I understand that all of these options are too smooth; that's true for me, too. However, that complex fractal curve has some sort of overall trend; please pick from the list the one that best matches that trend, or, if you must say "none of the above," give me some idea of the general shape of your curve.
Yes, we're about to do the algebraic portion of Precal; why do you ask? ;-)
