You've spoken a great deal about stagnation and a fair amount about what institutions and individuals might do to combat it. What advice do you have for adapting to it? Short of becoming an entrepreneur, what does the prospect of technological stagnation mean for how average individuals should invest and plan their lives?

Medical research is one area in which technological growth has most strongly slowed down, for largely institutional and regulatory reasons. Yet you've invested in companies and funded nonprofits that are fairly ambitious - trying to combat aging and solve other large problems.

What secret do you have about doing actually-effective medical research and ventures?

Makes sense - does stagnation have any implications for what asset classes it makes sense to put those savings in? Equities, commodities, or perhaps those exotic instruments of "zero-sum credentials"?
