  Literally the end of evolution.

    Evolution is already mostly over, and on the timescales that it becomes relevant we will have engineered ourselves far beyond our flesh shells.

  A slowdown of progress becomes as irrelevant as the passage of time. You'd experience more net progress anyways. Regardless, it's still not a reason to die. You could argue that progress is meaningless with death. Finally, progress being slowed down is something we can solve independently of death. I think it's a good idea to find alternative solutions to stagnation than literally dying - that's like solving an issue with your OS by throwing your whole computer in the trash. Alternatively phrased, if power was already stagnated and concentrated, and you had a button to start killing a couple million random people like clockwork every year to "solve" this problem, it would be insane to press it.
