That's begging the question.
For all we know we're about to hit technological stagnation.

But that's wish fulfillment based on huge explorations of technology.
It's as I mentioned, quasi-metaphysical: like hoping a material messiah-God springs to life due to technological prophesies.

I just don't buy it. For all we know, we could be heading for a tech stagnation once we hit the very real physical limitations and laws of our reality.

Isn't Land's Techno-Capital Singularity predicated on perpetual growth in technology? For all we know, we're on the cusp of a tech stagnation point; where all the hanging compound gains of technology have been plucked and we start rubbing up against the walls of physical limitations.

I never get materialists... they are so adamant about the physical world but when it doesn't mold to their will they start dipping into quasi-metaphysics like singularities, simulation theory, and transhumanism. Moore's Law may be obsolete soon, but it's created whole secular cult around it's "timeless" prognostication.

Personally, I want to see all this tech-fetishism fall flat on its face.

That's predicated on technology increasing at a geometric rate indefinitely; which conflicts with materialists belief that we're confined solely by the physicals barriers and laws of this universe.
A natural tech stagnation is what humanity needs to snap us out of this techno-fetishism.

On a side note / food for though, have you ever considered the possibility that we could enter a tech stagnation? It's an inevitability that we will run into the physical boundaries of this reality sooner which we won't be able to breakthrough.

What if we hit a tech stagnation?
What if we're on the cusp of it?
