Why? There's a population collapse coming. I'm more worried about stocking up on hidden food caches than hiding my (soon not to exist anymore) internet profile.
most of cost increase last years is due to energy costs which is artificially influenced by war terror; to stop supply and the climate hoax; governments are known artificially increasing prices to ''promote lower energy use''.
Our societies have embraced human sacrifice aka abortion. Our societies have replaced family and religion with materialism and self-centrism. When you see many people care more about animals than other humans, you know that society is morally degenerate. There is no going back. Only awaiting the collapse and rebuilding from the ground up.
Human civilization is artificial, and that means it's split from nature. We first need to live with nature not against it, not harming it, not using it for short period profit that harms the future.
The problem is multi faceted. There is no one key solution. 1. Having children is very expensive 2. Women want to work, and often are forced to work due to rising cost of living 3. Men and women are being taught to hate one another in countless media articles 4. Men are going their own way, while women are being told they need no man 5. People want to travel and have careers. Loads of hobbies and sports. Masses of entertainment. Children sap resources to do these. 6. Easy access to spicy videos and other content for men means they're slapping the sausage instead of finding a woman 7. Women have been told for decades to demand a top man. Top earning, top height, top looks. 8. For South Korea, China and Japan, long work hours means parents have no energy or time for children 9. And many more reasons.
Point 7 is super important, because there's been too many cases of men thinking they're in happy, loving, stable relationships, when in fact their spouse or partner is always looking to "upgrade". It's made the decision to have children an absolute nightmare for many young men who would like to be fathers, who would potentially be good fathers, and yet the idea that they can commit to their parenting role while their SO can't because they're always looking for something "better" is putting many of them completely off the idea. Add to that court systems which unfairly grant custody a good 90% of the time to the mom, and men are essentially reduced to the role of piggy-bank for women who can not only bag another man who is doing well financially, but she can bankroll part of her own lifestyle and the rearing of children off of child support. It's a complete narcissistic distortion that has ruined entire families for generations at this point, and while some may argue that the man/father might not have been living up to their end of the bargain, it's happened to enough good men who still do their best to be a positive influence on their young children's lives that there is no point to it anymore. You're essentially signing up for a one-night stand that turns into an 18 year commitment to pay half your wages to a woman who stabs you in the back and probably tries to turn your own kids against you.
Babies are only expensive if you're selfish as shit. Once you have a child, it is no longer about you. And someone having a child should be proud of such an honor to bring forth the new generation properly. In this age of self aggrandizement, I can see why having a baby wouldn't be an honor for most.
@@OrlanduHolySwordsman And thats exactly the problem, greed and selfishness. People dont want the responsibility of taking care of their children, they'd rather have something easy, like a dog or even SIMPLER, a cat. People have been programmed to be apathetic to their children, its a disgusting and misanthropic mindset that should be shunned and shamed.
Let me get this right. They study 12 hours a day every single day, to get a good job, where they'll work 12 hours a day 6 days a week... Why? It's an exercise in futility, there's no point, what are you getting paid for? To eat, sleep and get back to work? That's literally just slavery, I'd rather fail the exam and leave the country if i was them.
The older generation, with cheap loans and uncontrolled growth of debt, provided themselves with a good life in the second half of the 20th century at the expense of those who will have to pay it all back in the first half of the 21st century. So that they could, at one time, buy their own home in 2-3 years without straining themselves by working 8 hours a day at a factory, we will now have to work ourselves to death on 12-hour shifts paying off their debts. Technically, instead of an inheritance, we received debt obligations. So this is not so much slavery as a debt hole of parents that we are forced to cover by giving up a normal life.
@Dandelion2-3Ironically having a collective culture with a focus on the benefits to society seemed to forget the most important ingredient that being having kids.

Everyone here is willingly blind to the fact that for all of human history, it's the poor that have had lots of children. Turns out that having kids is a useful strategy to escape poverty
The primary reason why people aren't having kids in industrialized nations is because most people are aware that their kids will have a lower standard of living than they did. Real wages have barely moved since the 80's, while cost of living is up several fold. And the trend is only getting worse. Looking to immigration for a solution is like treating a symptom without addressing its cause.
I don't think most people are even aware of their own elbow. They are all susceptible to the propaganda about population though and affected by an abundance of chemicals in our food and drink.

Both can be true. There are too many people but also our economy and way of life is predicated on there being more young people than old people so that retirement is economically feasible because proportionally fewer people are at that age.

my 2 cents, As long as people will have to work 8-10 hours to survive and barely making a living unless you are a doctor or an engineer you likely can't even afford children, and if you are an engineer or doctor you simply don't have time to raise a children. Reduce cost of living and make 6 hour shifts, thats probably the "utopian" idea.

My sister has one child. She wants another but the financial burden and burden to mental health is too much. She has said no to more life. And who can blame her?
We just had our first kid. I as the father, will not be going back to work. Child care is TOO expensive. Even if I did part time, that would have zero effects, financially. So she has more opportunities for advancements and better possible pay, so we had to make a choice. We know we can't have any more because of this.
Once upon a time, we had families living in a cohesive community. Grandma used to help out with the grandkids and later, they with her. Not now though. Childcare and care of the elderly is a business and so families are bound to struggle to afford things at both ends of the scale.

This situation becomes even worse when you realize that the youngest adults living right now have been raised up to believe they should start their careers making 6-digit salaries and if they can't do that they'll refuse to work at all.
Because you can't raise a family unless you have 6-digit salaries, especially when homes cost 7 digits in most cities. Why demand that anyone be content with monetary deprivation for any reason ever?
@@taramcflara It's unrealistic to expect that kind of an income as soon as you enter the workforce.

@jebbroham1776 yeah, no shit. That's why cost of living needs to be lower, because if you need 6 figures to afford it right out of the gate, how are you supposed to make it anywhere or accomplish anything in life?
@jebbroham1776 our options are to raise wages, lower costs, or something much more creative 🤷♀️. In a society with resources and technology like we have, there's nothing lovely, kind, or noble in demanding certain groups go without basic needs (especially when doing so causes longterm, far-reaching negative consequences).

Good that you introduced the long forgotten rat studies. What you omitted though was that the reason these abundantly resourced rat societies fell apart was hypothesised to be that for both physiological and psycholigical reasons rats ( and by extension humans) can only tolerate a certain number and level of interactions over a given time period. Mega cities as they are currently constructed create such an overload, which results in a number of defined responses One of these is the creaion of tribalised districts, the other is total withdrawal from society and not going out, violence and rage - blind lashing out and pathological behavior is another, such as killing offspring. Another response is what is known as "bystander apathy", another well researched aberration of human behaviour typically found in large densely populated cities.

True in a world where people actually THINK, and have a decent IQ. In reality, probably more than half of population is VERY dumb, and will make A LOT of children. Poor countries will have the most children, rich countries will not have children.
also the goverment gives parents too many responsibilities, unlike the past where you could do whatever you wanted with your children, this is a big factor as well
im not having kids, mainly because society does'nt value having families anymore, it started when homes became investments. And now the drive to be independent and be successful took over. You can tell because they no longer make family oriented tv programs like they used to.
The purpose of mine and my children's existence is not to support some random pensioner who could not care less about us, and if anything despises the youngest of us, and I will not bring children into the world just to do that.
Your parents raised you and became pensioners, so you should pay them back the favor by providing social security. Kids are those who are supposed to provide social security for YOU when you become a pensioner. And without kids you will demand support from other kids, won't you? But why would they support you if you didn't invest into them?

At the Sydney OIympics in 2000, non-AEs were about 15+% of Sydney's population. Official data says that about 1 million people have left Sydney since 2000, to other places and regions in Australia.

@@reid3031 The Occam's Razor answer to low birth rate problem is women getting jobs and not having time to spend with toddlers. Japan does not follow this rule and instead their problem is indeed a high living cost to fight at bleak and stoic work culture. The West can solve this problem by making grandparents take care of the children. Asians NEVER ever wrote any parenting guide, they just use grandparents when they don't have time for this. It takes getting birth rate above 2 kids on average to solve birth problem, it's not much but it is too much, allegedly. Another MUCH MORE REALISTIC obstacle would be kids with tendency to easily hurt themselves while having fun outside even on accident. We are so crazy about the possibility of kids hurting themselves, despite that being common and easily recoverable from even in the past, that adults are paranoid about even being framed into harming their children or not caring for them. Then again, Japan doesn't give a shit, their work culture is so bleak in comparison to what they see in The West that they just fall into gaming mantras. Ultimately, the most cynical answer I can think of is people just getting lazy with the burder of having children.

@@Ptaku93 I'm talking about political elite. Most of them would not enjoy improving future for kids. Corporate lobbyist also pressure them to discourage having kids as employees without them can spend more time on their jobs. That's the fundamental problem, if politicians would be too strict towards companies for their anti-kid antics, then those corporations would be at risk of changing their HQ to foreign rival countries, such as China even. If poorer countries would no longer have to sell their stuff to richer countries, then they would use that stuff to make themselves rich for serious rivalty by enchancing their living standards. That's why richer countries make upper class of poorer countries ensure that status quo in there must remain the same at all cost. For example, USA has oil but they don't use it at all due to worse quality and sell it to other countries instead for some profit to partly cover purchasing better oil. Imagine USA having not to purchase oil just because they have their own but worse, citizens would feel it and that's something neither of the major political parties would enjoy, just like lobbyist trying their best to ensure that they won't rule twice in a row for serious changes, so they can counter each-other if possible.

@@igors1234 I would like to add, cost to build being higher also stems from the lack of demand in other areas of the country where building costs are cheaper, land is more affordable, and land is not as restricted (due to geographical topography or political factors such as zoning and NIMBYism) People go to where the jobs are. It just so happens all the jobs are in the cities where housing is unaffordable. The cities where you can't build the housing out anymore besides multistory high density housing.

This summer?), diversity, increased water retention (and when we finish off the jetstream, no mobility for storms), resulting in continuous deluges that will exacerbate our topsoil losses (and will runoff instead of retain to refill aquifers), etc, F-ing etc. The oceans are already dead, they just haven't finished dying yet (acid from carbon dioxide, heating, etc) - and we're going to be hurting on the oxygen production front without algae.

Culture is the problem. The basic problem is that motherhood isn't respected. If it was, people would have children and governments would smooth their path. Work culture, housing costs, child-raising costs, the increasing gap between men and women, and all the rest: all of these follow from the basic problem that motherhood has no respect.
Motherhood isn't just not respected it straight up showed as weak and pathetic in our culture. Now women are showed the only way you can be valued and have a high statues is to be a water downed version of a man. This infuriates me since it's one of the most important roles within society.

At the 12th minute the narrator says that, “it’s now being predicted that the populations of 20 developed nations will halve by 2100.” Well that certainly won’t be the case for Britain/Ireland, the US, Canada and Australia and NZ. And this is indisputably proven by virtue of mass-immigration intakes into all oof them over the past decade and, moreover, with all of this quintet intending to continue with these schedules. The incredibly grave conundrum with this is, because almost all of these immigrants are the sourced from countries that have no inherent cultural, and WORST OF ALL, religious connections to the host societies. And whilst the economic rationalists - WEF, George Soros, major banks and, indeed, the extremely treacherous and traitorous politicians - construe it’s fantastic and, have multiple climaxes over the increasing revenues and taxes from increased consumption of goods and services the danger is that these immigrants will soon become the collective majorities. And when that transpires, the religious zealots within these groups will force the indigenous peoples to submit to their religion or terminate them.

When the Black Death happened it overwhelming hit the serf class in Europe, the ratio between workers and lords decreased and the workers had to get paid more, therefore living conditions increased. What is being done now is that immigration offsets this decline in labour and stop the wages from keeping up with inflation. Keeping profits up for banks selling mortgages for houses and corporations that need cheaper labour and selling consumer goods to the population. When someone says something is “good” for the economy, the question you need to ask is: “For whom?” Edit: He partially mentions this later

Of course a lower population is a long term benefit. The problem is how to get from here to there without letting all the retired boomers starve to death because there aren't enough workers around to keep the economy running and also feed them. Our whole civilisation doesn't know what healthy de-growth looks like. We have no model for productivity becoming less, profits becoming less, consumption becoming less, other than as a disaster condition of recession or depression. We really need to figure that out, because it's going to happen whether we're ready for it or not.

It’s not that my generation doesn’t want to have children. It’s that we are educated enough and unfortunately aware of how unaffordable and unrealistic it is to actually raise children. On average, we work more hours, have less buying power and have more commitments that previous generations. I want to have my 2.1 kids, and a dog but making over 100k only affords me a 2 bed apartment and a dog.
History dictates that no matter your financial situation you will have kids. Childfree rates have remained stable for decades and have declined in the past decade. You are statistically likely to have kids around 35.
I think everyone always understood that, it's just that in the past, people were willing to risk it. They just did it, anyway, and hoped for the best, because the alternative was not reproducing. Like, your two options are either having a child and struggling or not ever having kids.

Why? There's a population collapse coming. I'm more worried about stocking up on hidden food caches than hiding my (soon not to exist anymore) internet profile.
Here’s the real question: How is everything more expensive when productive tech is better than ever and the number of consumers is falling?
Every heard of crony capitalism?
Are you dumb? It's greed. It's the basis of the entire Western way of life.
most of cost increase last years is due to energy costs which is artificially influenced by war terror; to stop supply and the climate hoax; governments are known artificially increasing prices to ''promote lower energy use''.
Hmm must have to do with uncooperative corporate greed industry.
Greed. But also stupidity, we shouldn’t be buying so much crap.
In order to want human civilization to continue, you must first value human life.
Our societies have embraced human sacrifice aka abortion. Our societies have replaced family and religion with materialism and self-centrism.
When you see many people care more about animals than other humans, you know that society is morally degenerate. There is no going back. Only awaiting the collapse and rebuilding from the ground up.
I like that idea 💡
Human civilization is artificial, and that means it's split from nature. We first need to live with nature not against it, not harming it, not using it for short period profit that harms the future.
That is so true.
Its very basic:
- Shelter
- Job (A good paying one)
- Food
- Transportation
- Internet (this is mostly last)
The problem is multi faceted. There is no one key solution.
1. Having children is very expensive
2. Women want to work, and often are forced to work due to rising cost of living
3. Men and women are being taught to hate one another in countless media articles
4. Men are going their own way, while women are being told they need no man
5. People want to travel and have careers. Loads of hobbies and sports. Masses of entertainment. Children sap resources to do these.
6. Easy access to spicy videos and other content for men means they're slapping the sausage instead of finding a woman
7. Women have been told for decades to demand a top man. Top earning, top height, top looks.
8. For South Korea, China and Japan, long work hours means parents have no energy or time for children
9. And many more reasons.
80-20 rule has ruined dating. It's not a new phenomenon....
Point 7 is super important, because there's been too many cases of men thinking they're in happy, loving, stable relationships, when in fact their spouse or partner is always looking to "upgrade". It's made the decision to have children an absolute nightmare for many young men who would like to be fathers, who would potentially be good fathers, and yet the idea that they can commit to their parenting role while their SO can't because they're always looking for something "better" is putting many of them completely off the idea. Add to that court systems which unfairly grant custody a good 90% of the time to the mom, and men are essentially reduced to the role of piggy-bank for women who can not only bag another man who is doing well financially, but she can bankroll part of her own lifestyle and the rearing of children off of child support. It's a complete narcissistic distortion that has ruined entire families for generations at this point, and while some may argue that the man/father might not have been living up to their end of the bargain, it's happened to enough good men who still do their best to be a positive influence on their young children's lives that there is no point to it anymore. You're essentially signing up for a one-night stand that turns into an 18 year commitment to pay half your wages to a woman who stabs you in the back and probably tries to turn your own kids against you.
Babies are only expensive if you're selfish as shit. Once you have a child, it is no longer about you. And someone having a child should be proud of such an honor to bring forth the new generation properly.
In this age of self aggrandizement, I can see why having a baby wouldn't be an honor for most.
@@OrlanduHolySwordsman And thats exactly the problem, greed and selfishness.

Why? It's an exercise in futility, there's no point, what are you getting paid for? To eat, sleep and get back to work? That's literally just slavery, I'd rather fail the exam and leave the country if i was them.
The older generation, with cheap loans and uncontrolled growth of debt, provided themselves with a good life in the second half of the 20th century at the expense of those who will have to pay it all back in the first half of the 21st century. So that they could, at one time, buy their own home in 2-3 years without straining themselves by working 8 hours a day at a factory, we will now have to work ourselves to death on 12-hour shifts paying off their debts. Technically, instead of an inheritance, we received debt obligations. So this is not so much slavery as a debt hole of parents that we are forced to cover by giving up a normal life.

Everyone here is willingly blind to the fact that for all of human history, it's the poor that have had lots of children. Turns out that having kids is a useful strategy to escape poverty
The primary reason why people aren't having kids in industrialized nations is because most people are aware that their kids will have a lower standard of living than they did. Real wages have barely moved since the 80's, while cost of living is up several fold. And the trend is only getting worse. Looking to immigration for a solution is like treating a symptom without addressing its cause.
I don't think most people are even aware of their own elbow. They are all susceptible to the propaganda about population though and affected by an abundance of chemicals in our food and drink.
Also sadly, this is most certainly also the natural after effect of conflict between the two genders. Ultimately not just people being priced out of it, but also resentment is a factor

My sister has one child. She wants another but the financial burden and burden to mental health is too much. She has said no to more life. And who can blame her?
We just had our first kid.
I as the father, will not be going back to work. Child care is TOO expensive. Even if I did part time, that would have zero effects, financially.
So she has more opportunities for advancements and better possible pay, so we had to make a choice.
We know we can't have any more because of this.
Once upon a time, we had families living in a cohesive community. Grandma used to help out with the grandkids and later, they with her. Not now though. Childcare and care of the elderly is a business and so families are bound to struggle to afford things at both ends of the scale.

Good that you introduced the long forgotten rat studies. What you omitted though was that the reason these abundantly resourced rat societies fell apart was hypothesised to be that for both physiological and psycholigical reasons rats ( and by extension humans) can only tolerate a certain number and level of interactions over a given time period. Mega cities as they are currently constructed create such an overload, which results in a number of defined responses One of these is the creaion of tribalised districts, the other is total withdrawal from society and not going out, violence and rage - blind lashing out and pathological behavior is another, such as killing offspring. Another response is what is known as "bystander apathy", another well researched aberration of human behaviour typically found in large densely populated cities.

"Unskilled worker" is just a term used to pay their employees less. If that were the case, no training is needed. Fucking doubt that grandpa.
if that was the case, just train the people ffs. when they first introduced heavy machinery and montage in the esrly 1900 I bet no one had 1 second experience with any of those, but they truly needed people so they trained them.

It takes getting birth rate above 2 kids on average to solve birth problem, it's not much but it is too much, allegedly.
Another MUCH MORE REALISTIC obstacle would be kids with tendency to easily hurt themselves while having fun outside even on accident. We are so crazy about the possibility of kids hurting themselves, despite that being common and easily recoverable from even in the past, that adults are paranoid about even being framed into harming their children or not caring for them.

If poorer countries would no longer have to sell their stuff to richer countries, then they would use that stuff to make themselves rich for serious rivalty by enchancing their living standards. That's why richer countries make upper class of poorer countries ensure that status quo in there must remain the same at all cost. For example, USA has oil but they don't use it at all due to worse quality and sell it to other countries instead for some profit to partly cover purchasing better oil. Imagine USA having not to purchase oil just because they have their own but worse, citizens would feel it and that's something neither of the major political parties would enjoy, just like lobbyist trying their best to ensure that they won't rule twice in a row for serious changes, so they can counter each-other if possible.

@@beniaminbuzun5667 What? You're not saying that you believe 90% of the population buys the latest iPhone, are you? Because that is certainly not true! Also, everything has just gotten crazy expensive lately, and It's just ludicrous! Anywho, maybe it is for the better that people do not want, or can afford to have any children, as humans are quite awful beings. Cheers!

Population collapse will not look like the barren, dead landscape. Animals and vegetation will be vibrant and will reclaim the land.
Why do you think there will be plants and animals? We're sucking the aquifers dry, increasing the heat beyond what plants can survive ("Photosynthesis in tropical trees generally stops at around 46.7°C (116°F). This is because the enzymes needed for photosynthesis break down at higher temperatures. However, trees at higher latitudes may have a slightly lower threshold" - how hot was it last summer? This summer?), diversity, increased water retention (and when we finish off the jetstream, no mobility for storms), resulting in continuous deluges that will exacerbate our topsoil losses (and will runoff instead of retain to refill aquifers), etc, F-ing etc. The oceans are already dead, they just haven't finished dying yet (acid from carbon dioxide, heating, etc) - and we're going to be hurting on the oxygen production front without algae. We're either going to be good custodians, or we're going to turn Earth into Venus earlier than scheduled.

Children have become expensive pets , billionaires are worried because they won't have any new workers

Culture is the problem. The basic problem is that motherhood isn't respected. If it was, people would have children and governments would smooth their path. Work culture, housing costs, child-raising costs, the increasing gap between men and women, and all the rest: all of these follow from the basic problem that motherhood has no respect.
Motherhood isn't just not respected it straight up showed as weak and pathetic in our culture. Now women are showed the only way you can be valued and have a high statues is to be a water downed version of a man. This infuriates me since it's one of the most important roles within society.
@@balasaashti3146 i agree that motherhood is as important as any other job, however, women should still have the choice to be a mom or work. i would never be a mom. i couldnt do it. other women are probably better suited for it and thats fine. i just dont want motherhood to be forced onto me, so yeah. it is most definitely important, but should not be forced onto anyone
@@weiner01103 It is not as important vastly more important then most roles in society. It is the first start to enable your culture to flourish and the base of civilization itself. We have lost this respect in our society. All should have free will, of course. However we shouldn't be enabling this cultural sick mindset on women. The depression rate among women speaks for itself.
@@balasaashti3146 i do agree, people shouldn't demonize mothers at all. it's sick. but there are many roles in modern society that are just as important as motherhood. yes, some roles are probably not as important, like porn stars. but still motherhood should never be pushed or encouraged onto women. and neither should they be shamed into choosing motherhood as well
Capitalism is the problem

Work smarter not harder. We are becoming smarter collectively, there is less work to be done, there is less need for more people. Quality of life over quantity for humankind. It may seem grim, but death is natural and something we all will face. Whether it is meant to mean something, I cannot say, but it does allow room for new life to come about.

@@EarendilTheBlessed people had kids in worse times and in larger numbers, thath how you and I are able to enjoy life rn
@@Gacek130
Define worst times.
I am saying ppl are intelligent and they are deciding not to have child now because the conditions are just not there. In the past, kids were and incredible ressource for a family even in time of war or famine. They could help with chores (anyway there was so much to be done to the environment still), the strongest survived and there wasn't so much law protecting them, meaning you could raise them to be your child. Today you have all kind of restrictions, including weddings that can scrap a familly in matters of minutes and on top of that you have a very dark futur ahead and you can't touch the environment anymore at a risk of breaking everything. Hell, I don't think it requires a lot of thinking to understand why more and more ppl don't want kids.

maybe the problem isn't there was too many rats, but they were trapped, captive, held hostage in a dystopia, like has been done to us
the conditions the rats were in were utopian and that's the issue ,the rats did this to themselves because the rats who had the better genes controlled the females and the resources and the other male rats had nothing to work with , no fighting chance, so they are not going to suffer alone endlessly and meaninglessly eventually they will say fuck it and burn everything and everyone including themselves cause they have nothing to lose anyway, there has to be an element of anarchy and randomness within the system it cant all be perfectly organized otherwise you are guaranteed to end up with a monopoly that inslaves everyone, am a Muslim and this experiment reminds me of a verse, (Were it not for Allah’s repelling people, some by means of others, the earth would have gone to ruin.

At the 12th minute the narrator says that, “it’s now being predicted that the populations of 20 developed nations will halve by 2100.”
Well that certainly won’t be the case for Britain/Ireland, the US, Canada and Australia and NZ. And this is indisputably proven by virtue of mass-immigration intakes into all oof them over the past decade and, moreover, with all of this quintet intending to continue with these schedules.
The incredibly grave conundrum with this is, because almost all of these immigrants are the sourced from countries that have no inherent cultural, and WORST OF ALL, religious connections to the host societies. And whilst the economic rationalists - WEF, George Soros, major banks and, indeed, the extremely treacherous and traitorous politicians - construe it’s fantastic and, have multiple climaxes over the increasing revenues and taxes from increased consumption of goods and services the danger is that these immigrants will soon become the collective majorities.
And when that transpires, the religious zealots within these groups will force the indigenous peoples to submit to their religion or terminate them.
@@markferguson7563 Those predictions won’t neccessarily materialize either
It wasn't just that they were trapped and held captive. They were deliberately not allowed _any_ recreation activities _and_ they were forced to eat in communal areas only to the point that eventually lost the ability to eat independently due to conditioning. The entire study and its conclusions are absolutely useless.
Finally someone talks about this problem, i am surpised that many people dont realise the coming demographic crisis.
I remember people being surprised at Elom Musk saying that people need to have more children and complaining how bad the future is going to be if people have many children, but they cannot have realised that developed countrys are naturally dying out and how expensive life will be for them because of low birthrates.

When the Black Death happened it overwhelming hit the serf class in Europe, the ratio between workers and lords decreased and the workers had to get paid more, therefore living conditions increased.
What is being done now is that immigration offsets this decline in labour and stop the wages from keeping up with inflation. Keeping profits up for banks selling mortgages for houses and corporations that need cheaper labour and selling consumer goods to the population.

World was considered overpopulated in 1967 when pop was 2 billion. So how is going down from 9 billion back to that so bad?😂
Is bad bsc in '67 most of the people were young.
When it goes back down to 2 billion, a lot of the population will be old, like 65+. They cannot reproduce or work anymore.
People grow old ig
the line can never go down. infinit growth in this system is fundamental.
stupitity and greed are the only infinit things in this system tho.
Of course a lower population is a long term benefit. The problem is how to get from here to there without letting all the retired boomers starve to death because there aren't enough workers around to keep the economy running and also feed them.
Our whole civilisation doesn't know what healthy de-growth looks like. We have no model for productivity becoming less, profits becoming less, consumption becoming less, other than as a disaster condition of recession or depression.
We really need to figure that out, because it's going to happen whether we're ready for it or not.
The problem is a philosophical one. Why would I want such a miserable life for my children?
The problem is a mental restartation one. Only materialist and utalitarianists see life as a miserable thing.

It’s not that my generation doesn’t want to have children. It’s that we are educated enough and unfortunately aware of how unaffordable and unrealistic it is to actually raise children. On average, we work more hours, have less buying power and have more commitments that previous generations. I want to have my 2.1 kids, and a dog but making over 100k only affords me a 2 bed apartment and a dog.
History dictates that no matter your financial situation you will have kids. Childfree rates have remained stable for decades and have declined in the past decade. You are statistically likely to have kids around 35.
I think everyone always understood that, it's just that in the past, people were willing to risk it. They just did it, anyway, and hoped for the best, because the alternative was not reproducing. Like, your two options are either having a child and struggling or not ever having kids.
or because we're not fckin baby making machines?
