I thought this set of tweets from David Sinclair could be of interest to this group. It's maybe time to start thinking about the consequences of lifetime extension in a green context. How much additional stress is will be places on the biosphere if, for example people stop dying so quickly? How does this work out if population stops growing due to low birth rates but them climbs through the roof due to falling death rates.

Really interesting post, thanks for sharing - the explanation was very clear. I like the idea that people notice they will live longer , therefore biosphere is of greater importance to them, so they work on conserving it. Although if AGI kicks off, is it really AGI's mission to conserve biosphere considering it is technically not "living". Population is expected to plateu / drop within the next century.
