You are the most optimistic death-metal lover I've ever known.
That could be because I don't listen to death metal
Closes thing to death metal I listen would be Slipknot or Pantera which both are quite far from death metal
Anyway... my logic is that if you look at the rate computing power is growing now, computers can soon do so much processing for us that all research goes to "warpspeed" compared to what it's now. This results much faster progress than ever before. My gut feeling is that sooner than later computers are the ones who are doing the research/progress for us. But technology will need us to give it an idea or a problem to solve. To make a computer that can generate ideas... well, that's gonna take a little bit longer
