Put another way: the rate of change may be at historic highs even if the rate of change of the rate of change is not.
Yes. But I don’t think that’s compatible with his argument. He posits, basically, that progress is locked in a feedback loop, and the “rate of change of the rate of change” is proportional to the rate of change. The situation you just described is therefore impossible in his model.
