No, they wouldn't

Rations would be getting mighty short, long before that 15x increase came about. Even a 50% increase would be catastrophic, especially since food production is jeopardized by climate chaos already.

EDIT: I think the Reaper will get its due one way or another.

Even with menopause, without death, population growth will be exponential. Let's assume 1 generation = 40 years, and every generation, number of females double (i.e. 1 female gives birth to 2 females or 4 children on average). 10000 years = 250 generations = 2^250 females starting from 1 female.

Let the man who came up with the number speak for himself!

For my part of the speculation, I can only add that if you had been surrounded with females and males of different age (from 1 to 20,000 - 50,000), you would soon find that for fertility it would not have had a positive effect. You would have a "mating competition" for the child-bearing females of the fraction of the total age, and you can gauge yourself the chances of a fresh 20-year old against a 1500-year old (and mind you, only a fraction of them would be rich to be able to attract females with wealth; in fact poverty would be more prevalent). Let's listen to another specialist explaining the problem (in the 2nd verse):

So, three evenings ago I hear a baby chick crying for it's mother.

Using a flash-light (a "torch" for the British), I find a little baby chick with a broken leg in the dark.

I hold it in my hands trying to give it warmth, and try to give it food and water.

This goes on for two days, and then I try to reintroduce it to it's mother today.

She stepped on it.

I finally decided the most humane thing I could do is to put the little sweet thing down.

Please see http://www.alysion.org/euthanasia/index.php for anyone else who needs to do this.

The production of CO2 is relatively easy. It cost me about $10 BDS for the vinegar and the baking soda to put this little baby down humanly.

And then I cried. And then I got back to work.

Assuming you have Windows 10, try this:

I've done it on 4 computers that have Windows 10 installed, and it works correctly on all of them.

Set your network connection to "metered". Then the system will only update when you ask it to.

If the option to set your connection as metered is grayed out, you can set it via the registry.

CUDA appears to be broken, again, after an upgrade. Old code generates an Unknown CUDA error 66. Rebuilding claims that there's an error in /usr/include/string.h --- which I flatly refuse to believe.

Oh well.

Found it. glibc 2.23 is not backward compatible. Grrr...
