It’s not apparent that complexity is increasing over time. In some respects, things seem to be getting more interesting over time, although I think that a lot of this is due to selective observation, but we don’t have any good reason to believe we’re dealing with a natural category here. If we were dealing with something like Kolmogorov complexity, at least we could know if we were dealing with a real phenomenon, but instead we’re dealing with some ill defined category for which we cannot establish a clear connection to any real physical quality.
For all that you claim that it’s obvious that some fundamental measure of complexity is increasing nonlinearly over time, not a lot of other people are making the same claim, having observed the same data, so it’s clearly not as obvious as all that.
