There have always been inflection points in history. It's unreasonable to assume that there won't be any. Everytime society comes out of an inflection point there is a field of critics bemoaning the fact that we are no longer in an inflection point. But that's because inflection points are by definition state changes.
In a way I think the assumption that growth is always a smooth curve up and to the right is inadequate. During every single inflection point people think this time is different this kind of growth is permanent. Every single time that turns out to not be the case. It's just society running it's normal course. The next inflection point is coming. In the meantime we'll have to content ourselves with the benefits of the last inflection point.
