ok, what if all those old people would get to be fit enough to do stuff?
how long would, or rather _could_, they really chill? All the old people I know wish they
were fit enough to be productive and constructive. Drugs and tech will provide this opportunity at some point in the near future.
And what is all this nonsense about social security and pension systems breaking down because the aging population outnumbers the working population??? Think about the exponential function. Everything will get more efficient. Up- and recycling, too. We only consume so much because nature had no way to be more efficient. That's where freaking sentient human beings come into the picture. And AI. I really don't understand the pessimism. If we set up an account on the wall street for every citizen of the planet and let robots do their magic, nobody would lose, everyone would gain. How? "MAGIC". I'm kidding. By ways of the exponential function. You can simulate it yourself. Are there more and more ideas waiting to get on the market or less? To fulfill some desire or need, to fix something that urgently needs fixing? More and more and it will never end. The amount of desires will keep growing. And everybody is misunderstanding the expanding universe. What do you think 100 cooperating billion humans will do? Cooperating in a decentralized way, how most of the economy works, minus the bad top level management and the inefficient ways of the stock markets (the greedy people). When has the human brain become sentient? And so incredibly powerful? After it grew to about 70? 80? 100 billions brain cells?
I'm in my thirties and so is my brother. We now laugh about the ways our parents grew stuff and procured food and stuff. And we realized that it took us so long to understand so many things because our psycho-social environment was too busy being drunk. Which is fine, because the top level management of the professional, local, regional, national and global systems are incredibly incompetent and nobody wants to harm anyone and or go to jail and leave the family worse off. We were slow for multiple reasons but now that we are catching up with the rest, and more importantly, our own potential, things will speed up exponentially.
I take care of the tech side and he gets into the whole sustainable gardening side of things. There is enough water and enough energy sources. The only problem to solve will be the chemicals in water, ground and air, but we are positive that there will be progress in the many approaches we have already found online and offline.
I used to like the term "self-fulfilling prophecy" until I understood it is equivalent to "the purpose of a system is what it does". People get smarter and improve systems. It's a beautiful and never-ending story.
