Whats even more fun is there other major problems approaching on roughly the same timeline...<p>- Less developed nations will be transitioning to a population crunch (WSJ 2050) with huge ramifications on global economics&#x2F;politics<p>- fossil fuels (especially oil) reaching depletion or becoming too expensive to extract<p>- climate change impact in full swing, serious disruption to even domestic agriculture<p>- Ubiquitous AI, and all the associated social unrest of a deprecated generation of workers<p>Ultimately there&#x27;s just too many people. Society doesn&#x27;t need 8 billion humans anymore, the US doesn&#x27;t even need 300 million... Arguably what youre describing is an emergent solution to that problem. Now we&#x27;ve reached the point where the next generation will need to support their parent&#x27;s slow death instead of raising the next generation of children... That&#x27;s going to wreck society&#x27;s ownership of the future in a big way.<p>(Mobile, excuse the poor formating)
