I really wish the article did more to support it’s position that a declining population is bad for human progress towards the back half of this century.
Meh, that didn’t bother me. That wasn’t the purpose of the article to delve into every implication of the data, and doing so would call into question the motive for posting the factual information it was providing with some of its audience. They kept if fairly objective and left the more subjective questions to the readers.
