I think at a certain point everything will be digitized, and the only inefficiency will be humans themselves. Eventually we will be replaced. So "our" innovation will end when we end and the next phase in evolution will continue.

The idea behind the perceived need to seek perfection (and the hope to find it) is flawed: the only thing that that cannot be perfected any further is the Void. The idea of replacing everything with the Void (i.e. of total destruction) is not all that different, as it might seem, from the idea of replacing the humans with something "more efficient."
