Why do you believe that things will eventually stabilize? Perhaps we will always be on the verge of the next frontier, though it may not always be a spatial one. Yes there may be periods of lock-in, but even if we are locked-in to a certain religion or something for 100,000 years at a time, that still may look pretty dynamic over a long time horizon.
It seems that your claim ought to be that we will soon lock ourselves into something forever. This is a very interesting claim!
I very much appreciated this write-up Holden.
