For anyone looking for an easily sharable deep dive they can use to explain to someone why collapsing birth rates are probably a big deal (assuming we solve AI alignment) and could lead to a system collapse we through this document together: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Wx6D3iFcB9eEE4EbQRogI9W-DunauGO3lj8SZDR6vYM
If you have any additional content you want us to add point us in the right direction.

Long term issues are mostly irrelevant given short AI timelines not just in the doom branch, aligned AIs solve such issues just as fast (I see this is explicitly mentioned in the document, and yet). The branch worth worrying about with regard to long term AI-unrelated things is delayed AI.

Since my last comment here did not seem to work I put it in a google document. This is a way to deep dive on where are the best places in the USA to raise a family with more than two kids: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tq9rY1TCs49XHckWtzOowYz_xHXFnRpOZq8r0lE5JSQ/edit#heading=h.cywpygwwkhbl

I added them later in the thread as individual files and they appear to have worked.

Where did you get this graphic? The thing that seemed most crazy to me was DC, which I was shocked to find is correct. But the international list is crazy. 3 in Russia? 2 in Japan? 1 in France?

Brief note: the 5% unearned income tax in NH is I believe only interest and dividend income, not capital gains. Obviously having lots of dividend income from stocks would be slightly less attractive, but at least for now most crypto gains are in capital appreciation. As the ecosystem switches more to staking and such and we don’t see huge bubbles maybe that calculus will change.

I could see arguments like this changing which areas seem best to us, so I encourage more pitches like this. :) I'll see what Alex and Blake think of your case.

FYI, your post seems to be full of missing pictures; all the missing pictures seem to point to Gmail, so presumably they didn't survive being copy & pasted from an email conversation. (If the post isn't missing pictures for you, I recommend logging out of google and refreshing the comment, or looking at the comment from an incognito / private browser tab.)
