You are rightly parsing my thoughts on technological advance. I also agree that such punctuations are occasional, and that between such events complexity increases, as you state.
Considering the bulk of your remark, I will need time to parse it. However, decentralization of means of production will continue to erode centralization of wealth, and power derived from it. It doesn't seem likely that force can be prevented as long as people tinker. I reckon of post market economy will eventuate, and non monetary aspects of society will become far more valuable as a result. Not sure how that impacts your concept of ubermensch and competition.
