Why it matters if "ideas get harder to find"

What if ideas naturally get harder to find? I argue stagnation in science and certain arts follows from semi-endogenous growth and limits on effective population. The real escape routes I stress are population growth, widening access for potential innovators, and advanced AI, plus IP reform to encourage riffing.
Rolly's Take
For the curious mind that feels the weight of stagnation in art and science, this blog offers a contemplative refuge. It invites readers to engage with the complex dance of population dynamics and innovation, pondering deeper questions about creativity and access. Here, the exploration moves beyond mere analysis to a space where ideas can be "mined," and the possibilities of reform intertwine with the relentless search for inspiration.
