Essentially, I mean that technology is taking the boring, commodity work away from humans and the stuff that remains can't really be managed into existence.


oh, okay. I thought you meant that we were entering a phase of economic development where technology had obsoleted itself as a business advantage.


Oh, no. If anything, it's the opposite.

"Post-technological" was terrible word choice on my part. I meant "post-technological transition" but there is no way anyone could have known that based on what I actually said.

The last transitions were 10000 BC (into agrarian) and about 1750 (into the industrial era). The technological transition is underway. We're probably 10-20% technological at this point.
