Incremental vs. Revolutionary Change
As described by Fernand Braudel, with respect to the Industrial Revolution:
“When one is talking about social phenomenon, rapid and slow changes are inseparable. For no society exists which is not constantly torn between the forces—whether perceived as such or not—working to undermine it. Revolutions are but the studded and short-lived volcanic eruption of this latent and long-term conflict.”

would you say that we are undergoing a phase transition?
How so? If so, what forces would are driving it, and to what kind of a reorganization
of the creative landscape might it lead? How might
fitness levels and the fitness landscape be altered?
