Description
This lecture was brought in from another series and it looks out of place:
We cannot shift it above this section because it discusses present values, which are introduced in the lecture "Present Values".
I suggest we differentiate it as follows: it's the first lecture that discusses infinite horizons in the series "Linear Dynamics". So let's rename it to "Geometric Series over Infinite Horizons". Then, at the start of the lecture, we should make some effort to connect it to the lectures just above, which use finite horizon valuation.
@thomassargent30 , are you willing to sign off on these changes?

Research direction
Locate the lecture titled "Geometric Series for Elementary Economics" and read the surrounding lectures on finite-horizon valuation, especially "Present Values" and the "Linear Dynamics" section. Rename the lecture to "Geometric Series over Infinite Horizons" and add an introductory connection to the preceding material, then verify the rendered lecture and navigation order.
