A low birth rate due to extended periods of prosperity and low perceived external danger is the primary reason that Rome and most other powerful civilizations collapsed.
Rome had a very high birth rate when under extreme pressure from Carthage and a low birth rate a few generations after Carthage, their last serious threat, was finally destroyed.
Elon Musk warns that time is running out:
At most, there are 3 years left in which you can still make money selling your work. After that, AI will automate most tasks, and paying a person for their time will no longer make sense.
The model of the last 200 years - "I give you your salary in exchange for your time" - is coming to an end.
This will trigger the greatest transfer of wealth in modern history. Those who are already making the shift understand it. Those waiting for it to hit the news will arrive too late.
In the end, what matters is not how much you work, but what you own.
The smartest asset you can build right now isn't Bitcoin or land.
It's an income stream that runs on AI and compounds while you sleep.

MrBeast says a mentor is the single biggest cheat code you can get in any industry
"A mentor is a f***ing cheat code. If you're in an industry where you can get one, get one. Like a lot of people enjoy, if they're really passionate about what they do, they enjoy talking about it. They'll mentor you for free just because it's what they love."
"But what's fascinating about a guy like you is you didn't have a mentor and you became one."
MrBeast: "Exactly. Like you figured the system out. My point would be like if I knew what I knew now like three years ago, I mean I'd be on half a billion subscribers or whatever. Like my growth would have been so much more extreme."
"It's like knowledge is just so OP. If you're in an industry where there are other experts, just have them teach you what they just spent the last 20 years studying. Don't you go on your own 20-year journey. Just learn from them. Then start your journey."
