Re your suggested solution, the reverse approach might be more implementable? Have a shorter, highlights-version of the episode published on a second channel, possibly with some delay to factor in the extra editing time needed? As main channel episodes have to be more polished than 2nd channel episodes, and I'd personally prefer longer, more in-depth podcasts to be prioritised by being on the main channel.
I don’t think you’re being confrontational, I just think you’re over-complicating someone saying they support things that might bring AGI forward to 2035 instead of 2045 because otherwise it will be too late for their older relatives.

We are already increasing maximum human lifespan, so I wouldn't be surprised if many people who are babies now are still alive in 100 years.

Prioritising young people often makes sense from an impartial welfare standpoint, because young people have more years left, so there is more welfare to be affected.
