What does it mean to be young in an ageing world? The meaning of youth versus age and this world reflects a doomed view of reality. Youth termed for actions and willingness to risk and growth versus a set age can be taught by simple Ivan Pavlov experience. Meaning life experience teaches you how old you are. If you want to keep the ideals of youth alive in an aging reality, make sure that those aging keep experiencing something that keeps them coming back and enjoying youth and new ideas. Aging? The percent of centurions or people 100 years or older is rather small compared to the near term possibilities. Meaning? With the right training, health, and food system in place, we could extend age for many 30 to 80 more years and the population would still be less than most generations if you look at specific countries. Meaning the question reflects only realities in certain countries, not worldwide. Along with this world? The potential of Mars limits only those with limited imagination on how big we can support a population. We can support a population outside of earth just by using the oceans and skies. Ocean domes with gardens feeding a much larger population along with cities built to fly in the sky are not too far off. Reality is just a matter of how to keep the population functioning instead of falling apart.
That is the question: how does humanity survive itself as its own enemy? The premise given is that the youth are not keeping up with the population of the elders. When the real question is how does a society function without providing everyone with opportunities to grow and become the very best they can be as individuals? A single person in a group of individuals makes up the society, and both youth and elders make up the reality of this world. Meaning? It is not just what youth is like for those countries with dying societies. What is the world like where the poor population youth is matching or even greater than the older population? The balancing act of immigration from one poor area to another. And with the possibilities of domed ocean cities or farm real estate, Mars, and other locations is there a real population problem or just a reality question of what is now versus what can soon be with technology that is being created every day to make reality a better place?
The argument in the question is. Is there work for the youth? Yes. There are new ideas and technologies that need new workers all the time. Is there real estate for the youth to work or are the older generations housing and real estate not something economically available to the youth? The answer is there is a whole other planet to consider along 70 percent of the world’s surface in ocean domes. Is there enough food? Surely there is enough food. It is more of a transportation problem or logistic problem. Which are fixable if those in power wanted too?
So the investigation into what is age or youth is where to start. Meaning what is youth with the current reality. What can happen in training, and experience to make the youth ideal last longer and make those older continue to try in a society that is stagnant or not changing?
Aging versus youth and what it will mean for those countries with shrinking populations to realize that those aging are gaining the influence or economic power and the need for them to reconsider age when they age longer.
The question really goes into the question about earth’s dry land as the only option available to live. The realization that space could hold a whole other planet and earth holds 70 percent of the oceans available as domed option makes reality a question of just how far off will it be for the youth to be spread outside of earth and into the ocean’s depths?
What are the inciting events to watch for? Reality humanity is already experiencing that. This youth nowadays postponing families for schooling. Or those older postponing retirement to continue on with their profession. Meaning the idea to teach risk and changing the definition of youth is already a cultural norm.
What about aging? The percentage of aging is already pretty much already defined by the youth culture. Meaning? The older the youth take to reproduce is already a stat. Making all these events already a reality. Meaning the older generation recapturing their youth or taking the risks they would at a younger age is already happening in the culture. The more you research reality you realize the meaning of youth in an aging culture is already happening and how the youth are adapting and the older generations are working about the question can be investigated.
That leaves the world. Elon Musk one-way trip to Mars. Or ocean domes or sky cities to spread humanities youth and the needs of workers to other areas and make life worthwhile for everyone a priority. And my book will deal with those key events. How can youth find meaning working with older workers? They already do that. The question is adjustments: how can youth excel and have a better reality with an aging population in certain countries? How can a culture that is aging extend youth's outlook on their culture? For without the youth, how will aging population culture exist? The future events: Mars colonization and the youth spread out both on the ocean bottom to sky cities to space. Where can youth culture find meaning in today’s reality and a future reality that is just right around the corner?
