My opinion is that really the evolution of the social level has not yet
completely halted. I see many *evolutions* in the structure of families,
nations, and so on. Intellect is still working on it.
About the "the rate of change curve" you mention, other rapid growths happened
in the past. One began at the time of the Greeks and lasted about 800 years,
followed by the relative stasis of the Middle Ages. Then a new growth begun
with the Reinassance, and we are still in this phase.
In both cases, IMO it's simply the intellectual level (that is still a baby) at
work.
Ciao,
Marco
