I wanted to see if historical labor class transitions (slave, serf, worker, etc.) followed a predictable pattern—specifically, whether they were compressing over time.
Then I overlaid them with Kurzweil’s timeline of major technological milestones.
I didn’t expect them to align as tightly as they did.

Curious if anyone else has explored this comparison—or sees implications in the way labor and tech seem to converge around 2045.
