"humanity could have less than a century of current-level innovation left, forever."
Why?
Instead of maintaining our current massive population, we should seek to improve efficiency.
Ensure every child receives a comprehensive education.
Ensure every human has time and energy for creative endeavors, rather than just paying the rent.
And so on.
Population isn't the problem, how we structure society is.

- jacknews 2y agoYour statement seems to me to assume that our current society discovers the geniuses and transports them magically to caltech, princeton or wherever. I would guess that many are actually making a living fixing tv's in a nairobi slum, or conjuring their own pantheon in a south american jungle, etc, etc.
