    As for later reproduction, this has to be occurring already.

Yes, the data are certainly clear. Will be interesting to track over the coming decades.

    Psychologically we may want to wait longer but biologically we may not be able to yet.

I agree, we seem to be in an odd reproductive period. However, I think it is a pretty safe bet that rejuvenation biotechnology will eventually allow anyone to have children at any time in life. Will be interesting to see how we culturally adopt artificial wombs as well.

    -I sure hope so since I'm already not going to make the singularity according to you. (gonna prove you wrong my friend)

Well I've never said that you wouldn't make the singularity. And in my last paper I am critical of the singularity concept, period. I think it's best to understand and model what is happening as an evolutionary process, as opposed to a sudden event.
