If you assume that each person takes at least 10 seconds to make the decision, it would take something like 2500 years for everyone currently alive to cycle through one time, at which point we'll have plenty of new people to pass the decision along to.

As long as we don't increase the human lifespan past 2500 years or fully stop reproducing, we should be okay!
