If someone ten - or even five - years ago said to me we actually might manage to defeat aging before the end of the century, I would have laughed at them. Look at me now, made into a massive fool by world in less than a decade, and being glad for it.
What a time to be alive.
I'm 35. Almost exactly ten years ago was when I fully bought into the LEV hype train. It was Aubrey that made me realise how close we actually were.
When I was a kid I didn't think cds would replace cassettes... once I realized I wrong I decided to never make an assumption of tech not advancing ever again.
Dude , calm down. Don't get your hopes up
@@geordi-gabrielrenauddumoul449 What's wrong with getting our hopes up? I can handle being disappointed, I'm a big boy.
@@julius43461 Personally I don't see accepting mortality and reversing aging as mutually exclusive. I have done a fair bit of DMT and I'm pretty excited to find out what happens after death, but definitely nervous too because it's unknown. I just think it would be fun to live a lot longer first.
Imagine how differently people would look at protecting our biosphere if they realized they could be immortal, and would have to deal with the long term consequences of their own pollution and waste.
yeah, gotta push the topic
The wildest thing to me is that this isnt science fiction anymore
It's not 😊
Well, it’s not reality yet - so by definition it’s still science fiction - but clearly we are getting at least a bit closer.
As per usual, they over estimate it.
Still is
@@exmodule6323To the exent that we don't know if the mind or brain is finite / has a upper bound no matter what you do. If it's possible to replace the brain over time with silicon, then there may never be an uperbound till the mind is ready for it's final sleep. But even then... life expectancy has on a ramp up, (potentially exponential) in the 1800s, it's werid to live past 35. Now, people arn't having kids till they are in their 30s.
Heat death of the universe might get us lol

Eternal gamer sounds amazing. Especially with where gaming has been going recently. Even with current VR, if you combine it with LLM powered NPC, living that second life in a different world does not feel that far away.
The thing that's really missing is amazing multiplayer experience. More games need multiplayer that's functional and fun and communities that aren't either standard-toxic or toxic-positivity.
I would still player singleplayer but it would get stale fast.
I imagine living your second life in Minecraft.
It wouldn't just be gaming, either. Could have education, be in a cross-game organization, etc. while also being able to be in any kind of body want to be in at that time.
@@bazookaman1353you won't need multiplayer since AI will replace people. Or at least for friends and family
@@bloodust7356 I still want to play with human beings.
I hope I don't die before we cross the finish line
Fr
I want to combine all of these together! I just couldn't imagine have none of any of them. I thought of one more ... The scholar lifestyle - either researching for personal growth or into a rare niche field
Normal european cities have all of these and more: Green parks + neighborhoods with a lot of families + the center with a lot of party + etc
As an incredibly lonely guy in his 30ies, who accepted he'll never get a girlfriend, there are two reasons I am really excited for AI:
1) The possibility of AI girlfriends
2) AI assisted research into age-reversal. This will give me a second chance by allowing me to look young (and so attractive) again, thus improving my chances of attracting a mate, while also making older women look younger (and so more attractive), improving my chances of finding someone attractive.
Yes, it's base, and you can point and laugh, but soul-crushing loneliness is my primary concern, and I will take anything that can solve it.
I am with you bro. The beautiful thing about the future promise of AI is that - for me - it affects how i live in the present. I used to live without hope and a perpetual feeling of "why bother". Now i take better care of myself, do exercise , educate myself about AI and other things. In general I invest in myself. Because now there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
My experience (as a man) is that I become more attractive as I age, not less. Maybe try therapy before age reversal?
If you are in your 30s, you are still quite attractive most likely. I would suggest learning a foreign language and going to another country so that it would be easier to meet new people (people, and especially girls, are usually extremely excited about foreigners, be you an American living in Brazil or a German living in Russia, or an African living in China, you get the point...)
@@awesomebearaudiobooks Haha, thanks, that's very nice of you! I do speak several languages, though I'm not big on travelling, and I think uprooting yourself and moving countries is as about as likely to leave you more isolated in a foreign place, as it is to help you find someone.
In any case, and to keep to the topic of the video, I think many men will relate to being in their thirties and forties but still being attracted to girls in their teens and early twenties (who reciprocate less and less). And of course older women can also relate to this a lot, as they see men their own age not being interested in them.
At some point we all start losing our looks. So age reversal will really be helpful in the dating scene. Or even in relationships: who wouldn't want their partner to stay hot and who wouldn't want to stay hot for their partner? There's a reason the beauty and supplement industry as huge as it is.
@@awesomebearaudiobooksPassport broing is mostly a fantasy. You get less competition to start but maintenance is still hell. And do not mention Brazil. Brazil has false-allegation laws that put the North to shame.
I'm always surprised that people don't seem to consider artificial wombs as a solution to the population problem. Plenty of genetic materials are available 😊
Some ethical problems behind that one...
@@jonathanlindsey8864meh. China and Japan don’t care. If it’s doable, they’ll do it.
@@theWACKIIRAQI China maybe because of their state 'ban' / control on religion and culture.
Japanese culture on the other hand is much different. Motherless babies would be a cultural shock in Japan and Korea. It would really be a problem. They would move more towards meda humans and robot servants. Technology has always been nearly worshiped, but the health of the *family* is ingrained in the culture.
If you have not visited Japan I *strongly* recommend it!
I'd prefer full bio robotics at that point. Why raise a kid alone when you can make the perfect spouse. And trusting any form of government no matter the era or tech is a folly.
Hmmmmm more arms and digitigrade from the thighs down.
Of course the kids would still have a mother, only gestation and birth would be outsourced to the artificial womb and everything else would be the same.
Eternal Gamer here. And while i get why you went for the idea of nostalgia and people reliving their Halo days. My take is that it's all about pushing exploration to new extremes. With Ai generated worlds, and at one point full dive vr, it's basically an endless trove of lifelike world filled with magic, adventure, and stuff that's impossible irl begging to be discovered, explored, and interacted with. I like real life, but if i can ride on the back of dragons while conducting a siege before lunch, heck yeah i'm going to do it!
I agree! The flip side is that a computer virus will be able to give you infinite pain for what feels like an infinite time. With no chance of escaping.
I'm hoping to combine or a live a combination of lifestyles. I'm definitely going to travel and probably live for decades in certain parts of the world. If I'm able to live in a commune and increase skills along my travels, that's what I would like to achieve.
Thanks for your interest in helping others. Love your channel.
Dude, that is such a cool possibility. I'll be doing the same if this all plays out!
I believe i already live like some will on a future with long lives. Moved to Japan, everyday is like traveling but without moving. Started VR company, , mentally teleport anywhere i want anytime. Live in a country town, i can still be a hobit while being mentally mobike. Live in a community, our company members all live in the same house. Enjoying partying, the town has many good pubs and food is fantastic. Took me 64 years to realise this so hope medicine development will start speeding up soon :)
"I am a hobbit." Me too, Dave. Me too
Thanks David for all the new Videos!
Your videos always give feasts for thought; 32 comments at 800 views is an insane amount of engagement. I always watch them as soon as I can.
If I had indefinite lifespan, I'd be something between the spiritual ruralite and master craftsman archetypes you described. I'd dedicate myself to art.
I wanna learn music and visual arts.
I want to do everything!
This man speaks so eloquently and without mistakes.
"I'm a terrible dancer, so didn't do that again!" - very funny comment by David!
Thanks for the summary David - Very exciting times - I would definitely do a combination - travelling, gaming, learning as much as I could over time. Then, much further long term, assuming we have sufficient technological advances - taking that travelling to the next level with interstellar planet hopping, space stations, new worlds... :)
I'm so excited for this future, and while I'm trying to keep my expectations in check and stay wary when it comes to the dystopian possibilities, I also just can't really fathom how the world won't be completely sci-fi in even just a few decades from now.
With that said, I'm a storyteller/artist and a gamer above all else, and I just cannot wait for the combination of VR and AI to get to a point that I can basically live in my own virtual world, with an Ai assistant who can literally give me the tools and help needed to create anything I could possibly imagine and more. Like imagine building your dream house from the ground up - every detail perfectly planned out - or recreating your favourite childhood home that you thought you'd never see again, or even just telling the AI to create an entire immersive game based on a specific set of criteria, and then getting to experience it in ultra-real VR. You could even recreate your favourite game or movie and take the place of one of the characters! The possibilities are virtually endless and it would be so fulfilling.
Cool topic!
I'll definitely go for the hobbit route. I look forward to be able to "waste time" without feeling bad about it. Just chillin forever.
Wonderful overview - clear, concise, and comprehensive. In answer to the question, I see myself as a "hybrid lifestyler" with a hobbit-like home base and a penchant for global travel that includes yearly tastings of all of the lifestyles covered in the presentation. I might even write about my adventures and become an influencer of sorts 🙂
I think my long-term is to be transhumanist. To augment my abilities to be as close an embodiment of my spirit as I can be. Perhaps not a progress-driven metamorphosis, but a sensorial driven one. Being autistic ADHD I find that I need a certain amount of mental stimulation per brain mass, and deep dive into subjects where the information is well represented graphically. So maybe I would augment my touch and sight to bring on new perspectives and patterns. And maybe I would augment my reach to work within those new perspectives. Maybe I would talk with plants or design new circuit boards by living as a virtual character in a city planning sim. Maybe I will find a fun way of plotting interplanetary travel. But expansion of consciousness is probably what I would like to do.
We are very similarly minded in that regard
I want to live in some combo of Bilbo Baggins life + social commune but with a major focus on fitness. If I could have an amazing outdoor gym in the sun and just workout for 8 hours a day I absolutely would!
I think you were pretty spot on on the different life scenarios, although I do think people will drift among different life styles according to whatever life phases we might go through, one scenario I would had would be the explorer, just like your globalthrotter, but on much larger scope, I mean exploring another planets and solar systems.
Not sure if I'd want to be immortal, but if we can somehow change the state of the planet for good within my life time, however that may be achieved, then I wouldn't mind humoring the idea of sticking around a tad longer to see things through.
Being a rural hermit would be my ideal life. Making art, films, and videogames while catching up on all the books I want to read would be the life I'd strive for. But I'd also indulge in a bit of everything you listed.
Re: Hospital Collapse and time. I was admitted into the hospital when I had my tonsils out and then the next time, I had to go to a hospital was due to a car accident.... seventy one years later. So, I see your point about collapsing.
I'd personally love to become a hermit for a decade or so and just take the time to find some peace, enjoy the fresh air and a slow, quiet life for a while. Afterwards maybe I might want to party hard for a while before going back to my quiet hermit life, or joining a commune or natal pod and having kids lol. While watching this I had this idea that if strict regulations aren't imposed on population control like they were in that one episode of Love Death + Robots, people may actually opt to have a certain number of kids but at very long intervals of time (since there's no rush), like say having kids and raising them every few centuries. So say they may want to have 2 or 3 kids every 100 or 200 years, raising them, nurturing them and when the kids are old enough they either leave or remain with the family unit and may also choose a similar cycle for having children of their own should they want any.
for me personally its going to be all about creativity in the coding sector. having so much assistance by ai in terms of coding versus having to code and figure out all the minor details is like eating bread with or without butter.
These are all great ideas, but getting to the end game from where we currently sit will be incredibly painful. AI can also be a double edged sword where it takes control and displaces organic humanoids with something more efficient/less destructive.
One of your best videos to this day.
You've overlooked a really important point at least for me in sports.
1. Not only can one play certain kinds of sports for a very long time without getting replaced by younger athletes but one master many different kinds of sport, achieve godlike physiques and physical abilities.
2. Traditional sports won't die as fast or will even rise in members.
3. Stars like Christiano Ronaldo or Tom Brady will have the opportunity to play as long as they want or as long as there are no real better players (not due to age driven fall downs)
And probably many more social developements
I would love to live a hybrid of going on meditation retreats around the world, also work on my fitness working out at new places!
I'm looking forward to augmenting my brain, and exploring space.
I like the idea of a new channel name that lets the viewer know what the channels about, and I like the new name as a concept, it’s just too long and unaware new viewers might not understand, I personally think you should keep workshopping it. Maybe consider something as simple as “David Shapiro- the Ai future” or something like that. I only offer this feedback because I want everyone in the world to get into your page and learn the concepts that need to be learned to prepare for the change.
My ideal future is owning a Star Trek starship complete with holodeck and replicators, exploring the world, doing creative physical and mental work, and playing games with friends in both real and virtual realities.
I love sports so that's what I will be doing having ample free time on my hands. I would join a sports community, pretty much I do that now, most of my friends come from sport activities.
I aim to live like a member of The Culture, cheers to that.
One area I never see you mention is sports. I think all kinds of sport will become massive when no o r needs to work. Watching, playing, coaching. I see every minor sport becoming much bigger with full time athletes all over every country.
I can't wait for 3d printing/ replicator of food
I honestly feel like I’d cycle through
- crazy partying,
- lonely hobbit,
- traveler and
- gamer
two weeks at a time…🤷🏼😁
I should set a reminder to come back to this video in five years to see if the presenter was on to something or if this is just a pleasant daydream. 🙂
Agreed, it's all a bit too sure about a utopian future, while a dystopian has more chance of success, and is something we are all already rapidly heading towards.
Maybe I will have time to work through my large collection of Math and Physics books. I have been thinning my book collection, but I have been keeping the math, physics, philosophy and novels just in case I end up with lots of time to make use of them.
all of them sound pretty cool. I mean, i'd probably go with the more rural, natural settings. but then go nuts every once in a while with the gaming and city life
How I want to live...in the suburbs. Sometimes I wanna drive to the city that isn't too far away and have a wild time, sometimes I want to drive to the country and camp out...I want to hit my hometown that has a decent little strip of pubs and clubs (nothing like the city, but a good smaller town fun aspect). So no, suburbs won't go away.
For me it feels like I would like to live all of these lives. Someone better make me live for 500 years 😎
I myself would go all out with VR and hopefully FDVR. I have a strong imagination the different experiences I can dream up right now feel infinete for me. If you have eternal life then it would be much more interesting to experience and infinete number of lives as well.
Thanks for a great analysis! I would definitely also add meditation/spirituality. After sitting meditation, a leg cramp is a beautiful, intense experience, as is the ability to move again!
I’m also curious about the future possibility of upgrading ourselves, mentally and physically. I was actually just thinking about creating my own house in nature right before the ‘Craftsman Mastery’ section, but I have very low spatial and mathematical IQ.
If gene therapy could help make us intellectually more formidable and well rounded, then I think we would have a lot of excitement about the future due to all the potential things we could do ourselves with that added mental bandwidth
I think there could be a future for suburbs in a way. I can imagine urban sprawl will increase due to no need to go to a city centre for work. But I like living in a suburb because you get a good mix of space and location to people you know. The city also has recreational facilities for things like sports and entertainment, transport for travel. It is like a mix of most of the other options.
Living in an autonomous community, 4-5 Generations under the roof and plenty of friends for children to play with - combining old school virtues with high end technology sounds exciting. Let´s not get ahead of ourselves and remain within reasonable dynamics (population, environment, evolution)
this is great also it has no tranhumaism which is a plus since I like to be still human and not a robot
Hey David. Question: Will life extension be available only to some? Or to all? What kinds of social disparities will this tech create?
Q. Will it be available to other species as well? Which ones? Domesticated animals? What are the implications of extending this to other species?
Q. What are the serious ethical implications of life extension being used in factory farms (example: in dairy farms)?
Q. Given that indefinite life extension technology could become real, would we then have the universal access to a voluntary, guaranteed, painless, compassionate and peaceful means of exiting existence at a time of our choosing if we simply choose to opt out at some point? Is there some obligation to go on forever?
Q. How would indefinite life extension work within the context of potentially worsening planetary conditions due to any number of anticipated or unanticipated factors? Will people still want unlimited life extension in those environments?
Q. What about other views on ‘the ideal life’ that may be quite different from the ones presented here? See: 20 min documentary titled “Return to Zanskar” and the documentary: “The Tibetan Book of the Dead: A Way of Life”narrated by Leonard Cohen (1994).
Views on the ideal life and the ideal death tend to vary. Do see the buddhist documentaries if you like, if you are able to.
Thank you for your thoughts and ideas!
You used some words I don't know because I went to public school, but sounds cool.
I would dive into plant genetics and breed new flower varieties maybe even help develop new plants that are better adapted for space travel for long-term space missions.
Going with a combo of hobbit and traveler. Love to see the world and have my own comfortable slice of it to return to. Plus occasional trips to the city to see a concert.
Suburbs also offer close proximity to community services and entertainment. I don't think AI or life extension will make cities go away.
I would love to live in the social communes model, it would be amazing.
Who ever sees this comment please share the video as much as you can. The future is in yourselves and I others hands.
this title grabbed my attention.i did a double take.i hope he is right.very interesting as always.
Hospitals may end up being really specialised clinics, kinda like gyms, for specific health related services
There are in my mind two definitions of LEV, when I hear Kurzweil and Aubrey de Grey talking about it, the statistical one (life expectancy grows by more than a year per year that passes) and the one in which we not only life longer, but periodically rejuvenate ourselves (so like LEV as a consequence of everlasting youth). de Grey once said I think it reasonably to suppose that one could oscillate between biologically 20 and biologically 25 indefinitely. When do you think we will reach this point, when we can be biologically 20 or 25 independently of how long ago we were born?
I’d travel every inch of the globe, have many wives, own several businesses, party and also live in the country
One thing that does scare me about longevity is one kind of disturbing idea… eternal soldiers.
People who’ve pledged eternal service to their nation, and spend centuries perfecting the art of fighting and killing in conflict.
Just because people are immortal, doesn’t mean they are any less corrupt or power hungry, and war almost certainly will still exist. These people, over time, would be psychopathic killing machines. Centuries of ending peoples lives would leave them completely desensitized to murder and violence, and they’d likely dehumanize the people they kill. Either that, or they’ll delude themselves into thinking they are providing a service. Culling the population. Making sure that some people still die and that we don’t reach a point where earth can’t sustain humanity.
In a post labor world, people will naturally seek out competition and conflict. Politicians will always seek to garner more power, and in a world where power will likely be where they find status and meaning, that urge will only become more intense. Meaning I believe over time they will almost certainly be willing to send others to kill in their name.
I'd like to hear your thoughts about how longevity will interact with our expansion into the Solar System and with the morphing of the self due to the ever-expanding bandwidth of Internet-like information flow. Thank you for your work.
I am someone with limited basic computer skills and knowledge but I am really exited by these technologies and I want to do my part to help get the ball rolling so society can advance for the benefit of all. But figuring out what steps I and others like me can take has been difficult. The only real thing I can think of that I could do is showcasing the ability of ai online (which I have started to do with my tiktok, A.I. Oracle). But I want to do more, does anyone have any ideas to help with this issue?
You are a genius and great force for humanity!
In terms of lifestyle suggestions, I would like to be able to leverage the "Buy Nothing" style networks as a way to transition into post scarcity economics. AI agents could make such a system accessible and beneficial on a global scale.
My lifestyle would likely be a combination of the Hermit and Gamer, with periods of Globetrotting, possibly dabbling with Urban Socialite and Master Craftsman lifestyles. 😊
Master Craftsman meaning, I will dedicate some decades to study the blade. 😊
Resveratrol is awesome
I guess I will be a mixture of urban socialites and eternal gamer
I plan to be an eternal gamer, having limitless possibilities and do whatever you want without having any impact on other people is just too good to pass on.
But maybe that's how i think cause i'm already a step in this life.
I'm definitely going to be an eternal gamer.
I certainly hope a panacea is coming, I need it :S
What would you say the timeframe for this is?
I'm already moving between urban socialite and rural commune, thanks to remote work. I'm not sure AI will necessarily change the labour market as dramatically as you think; in the industrial revolution they also thought we'd soon be living a life of leisure but instead the economy invented new jobs. Unless we change our mentality, I think that the same will happen again.
I don't believe we should be automating jobs until we restructure power and society to create new support systems for people. We also need to solve wealth distribution so that it is more equitable and in place to support people. Otherwise, there will be massive pain as people are phased out of jobs without the support they need.
we also need to make sure the internet itself is treated as a public good and is free to access in order for AI to be a public good and easily accessible for everyday people to use. At least in the US, the internet is way too expensive and not as fast as in other countries.
I agree with you in principle, but skepticism, friction, and resistance in government and society will prevent action until there's pain.
You missed a big one- frequency treatments are a true panacea.
I am currently cancelling my lifetime infection with Staphallococus epidermidis using a rife frequency machine.
I’m not surprised cause I’ve been expecting longevity escape velocity, but I’m just thrilled and blessed to be already experiencing it.
You don’t know what it can mean to a person to be freed from a lifetime of degenerative disease (that almost killed me).
it’s like almost like heaven on earth.
and the machine was only $500
I believe achieving an interplanetary lifestyle will be necessary for a future thriving society. If people are not dying, we might as well solve overpopulation by colonizing other nearby planets. Then, we can all meet up in a shared society in the metaverse
More time learning, listening to music, meeting new people, doing drugs and art.
It's a comforting yet primitive lifestyle.
And no I don't mean in a cult.
To enable sustainability of those lifestyles, the model needs solutions to control against dystopia. Given the distribution of psychological conditions in the DSM, there will be a need for solutions to protect lifestyles from physical and mental abuse. Whether that's an AI, a lifestyle or perhaps required term of 'duty' (damn work would be back •sigh•). E.g. Due to the nature of some disorders being a learned condition, (Fact check neeeded: Is NPD in adults is a cause of NPD in children?), it may not be possible to medicate/GE away.
I want a future full of chonky dogs! :)
I'll be your neighbor most likely. Nestled in the rolling hills. I'll build beautiful dobsonian telescopes which is my current hobby. But I'll do it full time :)
Do you anticipate these changes occurring within our lifetime (considering I'm currently 23)? You mentioned a timeframe of 10 years. What is the likelihood of these changes happening, and is it a realistic possibility, or is it more of an optimistic, sci-fi hopium? In my country, it feels like time has stood still - I still see the same old cars, some hospitals appear more outdated, and there's an apparent trend of budget cuts, particularly in offices and schools. While I want to believe in the potential for significant changes, it's challenging to witness or even imagine them. I yearn to envision a future where I'm not just contemplating the passage of time but experiencing technological marvels, discovering new passions, and strengthening connections with my significant other. Thank you.
Within five years
These are all cool but gotta remember if we dont fix the problems on hand we wont live to see this come to fruition
That's why I make my videos. Build consensus, motivate people
not trying to be a debbie-downer here, but why doesnt anyone seem to consider that eternal life might be a terrible idea? i would actually argue that what gives life meaning is its inherent finitude. the law of diminishing returns applies everything. the first piece of pie is always better than any which follow. in a world of eternal life everyone will eventually die of boredom.
craftsman/rural hobbit/occasional extended travel to live in a village in a different country
I beg anybody that sees this please share the video as much as you can.
"If you're not familiar with the word 'gerontacracy"-you're soaking in it.
I'm not going to get caught up in a bunch of specific expectations. It has the potential to do all this stuff, but we could easily fuck it up and make war machines that wreck everything. We still live in the era of nukes, and weapons of even greater scope are being developed. Or we could make simple mistakes with something that fucks everything up by accident as it a scales up the command out into the world and converts everything into rubber duckies. I loved when disney explored that idea in the Gargoyles cartoon. They had to go to the dreamworld and talk to the new digital superbeing and make friends, it was too poweful to stop.
Personally, my plan is to be an eternal gamer hobbit living in or around a social commune. That's been my dream ever since I was a kid, more or less.
I'm not afraid to die. I see death as inevitable, so death is not something that bothers me much. However, if living forever is a possibility, I would be terrifyed of dying.If accidents are the only thing that can kill me, I would go completely paranoid about doing anything that could take my life. It's a weird feeling I had watching this.
It would be great for me, I'm a super introvert. I would live far out with little to no people around, game all the time, and for hobies I would work on cars, build stuff, and continue learning. I think the only potential blocker to all of this is just greedy companies/ people. Based on the world we live in, any drug or treatment that would help with age and youth will be super expensive at first and only the wealthy will have access. This would then slowly flow down but in a diluted form, drugs that do a fraction of what it could. Look at the oil industry, or better the pharmaceutical industry, gonna be hard to get wealthy companies to give up on what makes them wealthy. Any who sure everyone's aware of those things, and I really hope we as humans can over come those .
Okay....so what are we gonna do about the sun. Seems like we will live long enough to see it's implosion.
Dave I've watched you for a long time but this is looking at it the American way there's too much things in the world for things to automatically be good
With the knowledge and resources we have now we can have these villages off the grid and completely surrounded by both perennial food crops and trees but also native plants that actually make the ecosystem MORE productive than it would be without humans (and mostly robots soon) sheparding and landscaping the surrounding environment
I've spent a bunch of time thinking about the specifics of these systems for various regions in north america, anyone feel free to comment if you're interested in learning more
I am curious
@@yes-multimediawhat region/ climate do you live in? And if possible also your soil type (clay or sand, limestone or not)
@@sagetmaster4 Tropical. Central America.
@@yes-multimedialmao aight you can grow whatever you want, just google companion planting and focus on perennials. If you have that orangey tropical soil you'll want to keep as much organic matter as possible for mulching and nutrients. Also look into some nitrogen fixers for your area
'Urban socialite' reminds me of Run Tiger Run where the people can constantly jump around the world to stay in the 'nightlife'.
What are incentives to reproduce, or not, going to look like if everybody already has what food, clothing, and shelter they need? Controlling behavior through incentives becomes less effective, I would think, as people get further from scarcity. That isn't a bad thing, over-all, but I think it's a thing.
Keep in mind that all organic matter eventually decays including humans.
What is this? I’m out of the loop and just found this video through a Reddit comment. Everyone here seems very sensible, and I’m surprised to not really see any dissenting opinions. How likely of a reality is this truly? How can I learn more about it?
I’m fulfilling my world travelling dream now, but would definitely give “gentleman farmer” a go… at least for a while, with a brand spanking new 30-year-old body. 🤣🤣
Have you seen isiac author on youtube? Id love to see you do a video on AI and near term space colonization.
Isaac Arthur is amazing!
