IMO Science and technology is a max() operator on the peoples ideas. Also, division of labour should go down in a smaller population, so I think this is far from linear in reality and a population collapse can be actually devastating

The value of any max() would depend on the distribution, though.

By adding new random variables to the max() its expected value should monotonically increase, no?
