This would entail unimaginable advancements and transformations, potentially involving the redesign of human experience and the discovery of fundamental principles governing value and matter arrangement. It suggests that growth will likely decelerate or reach a limit before this timeframe, challenging the expectation of perpetual 2% growth. – AI-generated abstract.
