lets expand on this
I don't know the meaning of the phrase "immanentizing the eschaton". I would need more context to be able to expand on your statement in a meaningful way.
we are talking about how fast technology is progressing
Ah I see, so you're using the phrase "immanentizing the eschaton" metaphorically to express how the rapid advancement of technology feels like it is bringing about a transformative, almost apocalyptic change to the world on a daily basis.
In that context, I can definitely expand on the idea. It's true that the pace of technological progress, especially in fields like artificial intelligence, robotics, biotech, and more, is astounding and accelerating. Developments that would have seemed like far-future science fiction not long ago are becoming reality at a head-spinning rate.
This technological acceleration is radically reshaping and disrupting major domains of human life - from how we work, communicate and travel, to healthcare, education, entertainment and beyond. In many ways, it feels like we are hurtling towards a technological singularity that will fundamentally alter life as we know it.
At the same time, such rapid change brings with it profound challenges and risks that we are scrambling to grapple with as a society. Job displacement from automation, the perils of AI superintelligence, biotech's capacity to alter the building blocks of life - the existential and ethical implications are immense.
So while this technological revolution brings incredible potential for progress and abundance, it's understandable to feel a mixture of awe and trepidation at the breakneck pace of it all. Humanity is on a wild ride into the future, and in many ways it does feel like we are "immanentizing the eschaton on the daily now." The only certainty is that tomorrow will look very different from today.
