Why on earth would we run out of things to invent? This shows a stunning lack of imagination in my opinion. I guess at any point throughout the history of the human race, since before the time anyone had thought to invent shoes, rope, pottery, or fish hooks, there were people thinking that everything has already been invented, and there can't possibly be anything else to invent.
There will always be new things to invent.

- yesenadam 9y agoIt sounded to me like OP is assuming there will be a 'horizon'. "Eventually we will reach that point." Why assume that? It sounds like a false assumption to me. It reminds me of the argument I hear occasionally about how one day soon there will be no new music, it will have all been written. Which sounds to me about as wrong as can be. What you're talking about is an entirely unrelated matter, and mixing it 'very imaginatively' with the OP's point as if they're the same.
