It’s interesting how different countries are dealing and are effected by the declining worldwide birth rates. The most astounding statistic to me is that wildlife populations have dropped +70% over the past 50 years. Frankly, if humans think that we are in the right to drop wildlife populations by such a staggering amount, a slight drop in human populations only seems like a fair way to balance the scales.

    Really, we should just work towards keeping the world population stable and bring everyone out of poverty

    Not that we have to try particularly hard, the population is stabilizing off by itself

    We’re 8 billion people on the planet, we aren’t running out anytime soon

      The sad part is that a technological society built ethically might be sustainable however we’ve blown it with run away climate change.

        Agreed. Feels like grief whenever I think about it knowing the current trajectory, to be honest.
