Are you saying that right now the quality of life for all Americans has reached a its asymptotic limit in regards to productivity?


Lifespan asymptotically approaches biological limits, i.e. the rate of progress inevitably slows.

> all

I wish people would stop adding such qualifiers to construct strawmen.


Ohhh by “it” you mean lifespan not quality of life or standard of living which are the relevant measurements of what we should be gaining from productivity. I didn’t realize you were going to nit pick a couple of very specific examples among many.

p.s. also didn’t expect you to nit pick examples I gave that I thought would better serve your original point: big life changing stuff has improved. I expected us to move on to discuss what is of major value that we should expect from productivity.
