But is that not a place? Our civilization has become infinite… “all the available options” is an enormous category that in some societies does include quite literally everyone.

(I suggest reading the piece – the author deals with whether or not the underlying hypothesis is true versus useful early on.)

I read the piece.

Our society is certainly not infinite economically or as a matter of what is acceptable socially, and while different cultures have varying degrees of acceptability in terms of plausible occupations and behaviour, they are still obviously bounded.

The hypothesis is neither useful not true, which makes the article uninteresting at best.
