Please show me how you get to your conclusion.
Save me the time and show me how you get to yours?
Simple observation, no science at all.
I look at my grandfather's life, at my fathers and at mine.
I can see a HUGE difference between my grandfather's life and my father's, I can hardly see a difference between my father's and mine. With accelerating sci'tech I'd expect the opposite.
e.g.
My gradfather travelled in an ox-cart, my father owned a car. I still own a car as opposed to a flying saucer.
My grandfather cooled beer with ice cut from some cave, my father had a refrigerator, I own a refrigerator (as opposed to a self-cooling beer).
My grandfather listened to radio, my father watched TV, I watch TV (as opposed to totally immersive vritual 3D world)
My grandfather wrote letters, my father used the phone, I use the phone.

The legitimate object of government, is to do for a community of people, whatever they need to have done, but can not do, at all, or can not, so well do, for themselves -- in their separate, and individual capacities.
