You're making the same mistake all star eyed futurists-skeptics make, which is to not realize that in reality, new sigmoidal curves are started all over the place.

It's just a matter of time and survival. How long? I don't know. Probably long.

There is a finite set of sigmoidal curves that can accelerate/plateau. If you add the "progress" from every curve in the set, that also forms a sigmoidal curve (via a transformation of the central limit theorem) with a plateau that is inescapable. You can't out paradigm shift the nature of reality.
