I would say exactly the opposite.
That with PostHuman capabilities society can be pretty much dispensed 
with as far as individual needs are required even in the hitech sphere.
Right now is the point where we are approaching the maximum

I expect that to pass as our intellects are massively enhanced.

I see PostHuman morality to be somewhat simpler than that required at the present time.
