Sounds great. If 5 year olds will not need a job, then there is no reason for them to go to school. If no kids go to school, then there is no reason to build schoolhouses, hire teachers, and have teacher unions.

Isn’t AI great.

One thing/concept we’re probably going to have to work toward is the creation of several zones where people agree to “check backward” and operate at a level of technology that they mutually agree to limit at.

I’d have to do some noodling on the details (or write a book), but essentially if you’re in one, you can’t just level up if you’re suddenly incapacitated, ill, poor. You’ll make a cogent decision to enter an era and abide by the laws/technological limits thereof. You could expand/manufacture or restore that eras tech, but you couldn’t actually get out and reap whatever benefits there are in the at present timeframe EXCEPT for some critical life periods like age of majority, 35, 55 (arbitrary) or you could marry out.

There could be some form of trade out, in only for resources or recovered period items and out for finished human originated art/items/foods or tech considered collectable from the era.

Eras could be about 40 years apart.
1990’s (Jan 1 2000 cutoff)
1950’s (” 1960 “)
1910’s (” 1920 “)
1870’s Etc...
1800
1700
Aboriginal/Hunter Gatherer
