Again you might think the average for a couple must be 2 children just to replace themselves. But due to child deaths and other technical factors it's 2.1. Since families can be quite different today, that's presented as babies per woman. The United States had 1.665 in 2022. Iceland had 1.59 in 2022, the lowest since they started collecting statistics.

Bravo for Initiative and Best wishes for success!
If the Institute is willing to allow you to share your experience with the Forum, I am confident you would have a following.
It would be free advertising for them, and I am hoping it would help you to feel a bit of the group experience you would have if you were on site.
Plus! If you are given a reading list, and if the Institute does not mind your sharing ** that ** then members here would have the opportunity to stretch their wings a bit.
The only downside I can see is that you would probably pick up an Australian accent by osmosis.

]]>The city of Winnipeg has a significant aboriginal population. I was a census worker in 2016 and 2021, went door-to-door to houses that hadn't completed it on time. No penalty, just get me knocking on their door. Only get a fine if they completely refuse. Statistics Canada doesn't want to give fines. Several people of aboriginal descent spoke Cree, several Ojibwe, and several Ojicree which is a mixture of the two. When I flew to the northern Manitoba reservation of Lac Brochet, I found they speek Dene.
]]>Neat question! I'm hoping RobertDyck will come back with actual interactions with the folks who are receiving anglo support for the preservation of language.
For RobertDyck ... thanks for sharing this (potentially important) news ....
It is my understanding that Native American languages were recorded to some extent when they were vibrant with energy, but that no written versions were ever created by the original peoples. That impression could be incorrect, and I am hoping this topic (or a new one dedicated to language) might provide background.

]]>What do the Cree and Ojibwe people think of their respective languages being turned into "Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics"?
]]>Any chance you could give a talk about the Large Ship at the local school?
Genius is randomly distributed throughout the population. Your vision of the Large Ship (with all the detail you can provide) may be inspiring to someone.
Even if you don't touch the mind of a genius, your vision can inspire ordinary young people to think on a larger scale.
This would be OI (Original Intelligence) instead of AI.

]]>We should begin speaking in respectful whispers when speaking of AI.
Tell M3GAN I'm not a threat to her charge. Just ignore me.
And please don't combine ChatGPT with an avitar in a Boston Dynamics body.
]]>YouTube video of official trailer of this movie: M3GAN
The scary thing is we are very close to doing this. Movement of the android looks like an actor (actress) in a costume, wearing a robot mask. When you look at Boston Dynamics robots for physical movement, we aren't quite at the smooth movement of M3GAN, but artificial intelligence appears to be there now.
Good luck/hunting in resolving that router issue!
So this is a Canadian problem? Post office counters get warn down by heavy carcasses mailed between remote villages?
Or perhaps heavy tubs of gold are shipped between smelters by postal office couriers?

]]>Regarding the counter: they were quite worn.
