The existence of other people's qualia can't be proven. My own experiences are self-evident to me, and I think other people's qualia are self-evident to themselves, as well.

Yes, I think this is a direct result of a difficulty in understanding exponential progress. In the early part of the curve people think it will never happen. At the beginning of noticeable exponential growth they think it will never be good enough. Then while it is exploding they want things to just stay the same.

Differences in DNA that are neutral with respect to their effect on function accumulate at a roughly constant rate. This is genetic drift. So, by looking at the number of changes between two sets of DNA you can calculate roughly how long they've been drifting apart.
