Growth through expansion of oneself in the broadest sense of the word

The establishment of this mental model at a young age causes cognitive dissonance, recognizing that at some point you will decline By shifting the boundary of "self" at this time, it is possible to interpret that "self" in the narrow sense has declined, but "self" in the broad sense has not declined.
This time of year, we tend to think of this "extended self" as "AI!" I tend to think
Historically, in the long period before the advent of computers, wasn't it "organization"?
But the leader of a 100-person organization was a scarce resource that could only be one in 100.
AI could give more people a sense of continual growth.
Extension of moratorium
A baby who is suddenly cut off from the organization he mistakenly thought was his body "because I'm retired" and doesn't know what to do.
In the Showa era, the opportunity for that form of "extended self" was occupied by men. Instead the woman had the child as an extension herself?
I think that's a bit of an exaggeration.
Of course there were those types of people, but they don't seem to be the majority.
