it seems like the rate of change could become very slow
No, the opposite would occur, because of the compounding value of experience. Imagine what engineers would be like with 10x the experience to bring to bear on any problem. Imagine the megascale engineering we could do.
But you don’t have to because we have actual evidence: life expectancy 1000 years ago vs now. Which society changed faster?
