ERROR CORRECTION AND A RETURN TO CONQUEST?

—“I’m seeing reports that indicate that we’ve captured most of the low-hanging fruit of exploration now, and our returns on exploration are continually reducing (collecting boulders > rocks > pebbles > sand) .

Now it seems that we may be best employed by trying to use our discoveries more efficiently, removing error (refining). Perhaps this is the Olympian stage that has to result from the end of the Faustian evolution. (Punctuated Equilibrium).”—William Butchman

In other words there is an inverse relationship between investment and return on exploration. And as a consequence an increasing return ON CONQUEST AND DOMESTICATION.
