So many countries are seeing their birthrate fall and a future with a smaller population is looming. But why struggle and fight it? What is there to gain by cramming more people into the system?
Here’s a thought: embrace the decline of population. Society definitely should because it will increase wages due to lower worker pool. The only people who are actually scared of lower population are the ones who view that population as expendable. Those same people who are scared of losing the meat shield between them and their wealth are the ones who steered us all into this mess anyway. There is no plan, no future, no continued hope for them to burn through endless resources at our expense.
Let the population fall. It’s the easiest way to combat climate change.
