i'm not sure extending life spans is going to help your fertility problem though.

all i see is that it will allow wealth to be horded for longer. your politics will be a nightmare as well as short termism will continue for planning purposes and the age of your reps will get ever higher. I don't see the problems that are causing fertility issues to be a problem, will improve in anyway by extending the populations age. Its almost like we have come up against a barrier . Where before the population boom led to greater wealth which allowed the population to continue to grow the increase in wealth today is no longer having that impact.

great link though to the AI image generation comparison, just amazes me what its capable of now.

"It’s interesting to think about emotions as having inertia and momentum." It's absolutely true. I also think another idea from physics applies: the inverse square law. As you get away from the source of the emotion (time or distance) the impact falls off non-linearly.

Re: strategic oil reserves. It'd be interesting to see that chart in terms of daily usage or #days of supply. The country is a lot bigger today than 40 years ago.
