      Look around you. Du you think that most people are high level and super sophisticated?
      Even well educated are very ignorant regarding a great many things, although of course they think highly of themselves. 😉
      Yes, this is a very interesting topic. What will probably concern most people is the economy and the question is when does it all start to decline so fast that we all realise that we will live the rest of our lives in a depression?

    In the 1960's they promised us the leisure society. The fact that it never materialized is probably the reason behind the below replacement level fertility rates throughout most of the developed world. Decision makers back then feared the advent of such a society. What they didn't realize was that it was actually a prerequisite for the long-term survival of humanity in a fully urbanized and industrialized environment.

      Kazakhstan seems to have hacked the paradigm where female education leads to low fertility. It seems even with women being educated in Kazakhstan, they still view having children as a priority and important to their personal status (not just their career). In a century, Kazakhstan will easily have 45 million people, if not almost 70 million, this would make it almost on par with the population of Russia by then (75 million).

    EDIT: Nevermind, he already addressed it. Will just let the comment be.
    It doesn't have to be a single story kind of. For North Korea, it's one story, for the West it's a different story, and so on. One common thread is a loss of all stories. The athiests had some stories in the last century, but after the collapse of their huge projects, in spectacular fashion, there was no good story to be told. For the West too, alot of narratives just died due to the internet shining a light on the truly broken systemic issues that plague everything. Without a narrative driving us towards the future, there's really very little reason to sustain life. There's also a very weird consumption of relationships by the spectre of capitalism I think. Lots of different narratives.

    Please consider “limits to growth” and “decline and fall” first world nations, have a large energy per capita consumption and as oil has become more expensive now that we have to use shale and tar sands instead of sweet oil , our energy consumption per capita is going down. Fertility declines as per capita energy consumption declines, which is happening more in rich countries.

      Not at all. Many surveys of young women around the world reveal the #1 reason they aren't having babies, because they don't want to. I'm not being funny, 57% say that, it's crazy. They just don't want them. And when you look at the incentives, where governments try to bribe young couples (tax breaks, free college education for their future children, free money, etc.) they never work. If money were the issue, they would work. Also, I've seen many videos where young women were asked follow up questions, like in Japan, so if you were paid $100,000 to have a baby and raise it, would you? And the girls giggle, look around uncomfortably, and say, No F Way. Not even for $500,000. The thing is, they don't want them anymore, they want to live life, travel, have fun, have careers, be mobile, be free.

Women all around the world want fewer children and it can't be tied to religiosity, economic development, or feminism. I also think the cost idea doesn't hold up since an average Dutch woman who would get free schooling, healthcare, and daycare for her kid is still not extra prone to fertility, and an American woman who has to pay a ludicrous sum for her kid's daycare and college isn't less likely to have a child than the Dutch woman. Very puzzling stuff but I think we just don't know as uncomfortable as that is.

    Current population collapse is fatal, because its root cause is none other than the civilization advancement itself, if civilization cannot retrack, there is no pathway for birth rate recovery.
    Civilization is a very strange fella, it can produce people, who are self nihilism, these people think the planet earth will be better off without human, including themselves. This can only be the phenomenon of a high civilization, since animals or lesser educated civil people will be incapable of self hatred because it is unnatural and completely against the evolution principle. In other words, self hatred cannot exist naturally, it must be a post civilization phenomenon. Of course the population who have this self nihilism tendency is very small, but they are among the most highly educated group. The fact that they exist, the fact that they are the product of our high education system is very concerning, especially in an era of nuclear power.
    But they are not the real cause of human extinction, even after the catastrophic nuclear event which destroys the entire world, human who survived will rebuild fast as long as human still has the desire and capability of reproducing. Other than a moon size planet hit the earth, the only thing can destroy human civilization completely and cause human extinction is human stop reproducing, the only thing can stop us from reproducing is the civilization advancement.
    When civilization was at its lowest, human was 100% animal instinct driven, we followed what our gene programmed us without asking why, just like all other animals. Our gene told us to reproduce as much as possible by implanting us with all kinds of sexual instincts, so our gene can avoid the extinction and move up the evolution ladder quickly. Once we became little bit more civilized, our consciousness took over the animal instincts, then we followed the mythical culture and religion to reproduce as much as possible without asking why. Modern civilization completely lifted human out of the animal realm, we are no longer animals except our legacy body.
    It is a slow discovery and realization that our civilization is incompatible with our reproduction mechanism rooted from our animal heritage. If we are aliens and never exposed to the earthling reproduction mechanism, we would think the pregnancy is torture, giving birth is barbaric, and binding human reproduction with human life cycle is cruel and artificial. Of course, we do not think like aliens, not there yet, but our youngsters, our most progressive young mind which represents our future, are moving quickly to that same mindset through our civilization advancement in biology, health, and morality.
    Civilization, by definition, is bias towards rationale over natural instinct, Today our basic instinct of wanting children is effectively neutralized by the civilized rational concerns of the physical cost, emotional cost, social cost, and economic cost of having children. The result of this transformation is that having children becomes a project, requires planning and cost benefit analysis, the problem is that as the civilization advances, the individual life become safer, easier, richer, freer, and more secure, the perceived cost of reproduction can only goes up and the benefit of having children can only goes down.
    As the civilization advances, the old people will be taken cared of by the society through the work of the economy or the social safety net, the fear of a feeble elder life without children is removed.
    AI is probably the most convincing evidence that civilization will be the root cause of total collapse of human reproduction. With the emerging Intelligent service robots the benefit of children will be completely removed, from emotional support to physical support, cross all spectrum. To each individual human, especially women, the reproduction becomes all costs with no or minimal benefit.
    With advancement of civilization, human population is not just collapsing but doomed. Maybe at some point in future, we may have no choice but to accept the concept of human manufacturing through technology with quality control and auditing, all under legal provisions and governances, so that human reproduction and human civilization can finally be compatible again.

We have a huge number of ‘excess people’. Look at how big the underclass now is in the US never mind globally. Massive population collapse is actually very good for the standard of living of everyone left over and disproportionately for the poor and middle class. And there is source of all the hand wringing. As well as an explanation for Covid policy. The two most dangerous threats the super rich face are plague followed closely by population decline.

    Linearly extrapolate current population trends for hundreds of years? Surely nothing could be wrong with that idea.
    A simple counter point to this whole conversation is go back 300 years and compare the quality of life of a king then to someone in the middle class now. Its believable that in another 300 years the average person will have the quality of life of a billionaire today. What if you had an autonomous robot to do all chores and parent your children? No intervention needed.
    Don't get me wrong we should be taking actions, and generally I support measure to make parenting easier for the middle class, but extinction is a ridiculous conclusion.
