Well, people only have themselves, or rather the majority to blame because they've bought the government lies of free shit and safety decade after decade, allowing the government to grow in size and power, and tax the living shit out of everyone, driving prices up to impossible levels, especially on the essentials (housing, healthcare).
You should move out of California.
Population collapse is no surprise. What did you expect when rents go up 30% a year and your pay check increase 3% a year? Younger people are not having children because they can't afford them. It's that simple.
And the boomer generation sold out their own offspring for cheap goods and 401ks. Then they wonder why we feel nihalistic and hopeless.
I think the human race will adapt with having less people. Maybe there will be less population, crime, fraud, natural disasters due to climate change, housing shortages.
@@julielevesque2668 You're assuming it's possible to adapt to such a state of non-existence. The problem is that there is absolutely zero reason to believe that the downwards fertility trends will ever reverse unless we go out of our way and reverse those trends ourselves. As Japan and other countries have shown it isn't necessarily about rewarding parents with money: our cultures also need to change.
The only solution for this is: ending global capitalism. Ending civilization collapse, ending climate change, ending mass extinction requires ending capitalism = its that simple
@@florentin4061 You're assuming that the problems aren't more fundamental than capitalism. Human corruption has existed under all economic systems that humanity has ever attempted. Again, even if you paid people to have kids, resulting in a net positive value, people still don't have enough kids in those countries.
Population collapse is ALSO cultural.
The issue is not having the sex to have the baby. It's the hospital bills, the school fees, the daycare, among other things. Should the baby not be perfect, then the cost grows considerably, because you have to care for the special needs of the child. Not only that but also the indirect loss of income, employment, work and leisure.
In today's world, the cost of the baby is not in birth, but the 18 years spent caring for it.
and getting married to modern women! the feminist devorce-bancrupcy and kidnapping scare plays a roll too.
@@christianjanssen2946 Not to mention abusive men who r4pe woman. Abuse goes both ways.

For anyone who follows Elon Musk closely. He actually started talking about population collapse after debating with Jack Ma on Shanghai in 2019. Jack Ma talked about population collapse at first which made sense for Elon.
Great observation ! Never noticed that link before. But now that you point it out, it might be how Elon learned about that.
Actually nevermind, during that event (just watched it again), Elon is the first of the two who mentionned the words "population collapse".
But they seemed to be both already educated on that idea at that time.
thank you for reminding me! I had actually seen the talk on youtube back then, but had forgotten about this detail
Oops thanks for the info. I was about to comment Sadhguru has already addressed this
I disagree. If you'd watch that conversation again you'd see that Jack Ma doesn't really bring anything useful into the conversation and Elon basically talks to a tree
Quality of life is more important than quantity of life.
Having a child that you can not provide for is cruel and irresponsible.
There are too many hungry and homeless people. Education and birth control are key to reducing poverty and hunger.
Humans are destroying the very air, water and land we all need to survive.

and yet, we continue to send money to the Den of Corruption? not very smart
@@luthmhor "Few hours of joys outweight days of suffering" Nope, pain is always sharper, stronger and more urgent than any joy or happines. That's why many people who go through periods of suffering are scarred for life, eg. warzones, rape, traumatic events, etc. I don't think that's nihilism btw.
Well Elon, pay your people more. Give them maternity leave and vacation time. Maybe if the large corporations stop treating us like disposable shit, we wouldn't be trying so hard to not continue
He's a proponent of Basic Income because he knows that the rich can't just pay people more. The rich need money to be able to invest which costs stupidly high amounts of money. That Twitter purchase the other day actually counts as an insignificant investment compared to what the rich normally pay out.
7 kids per women in 1800,

Mr Person.
Let me explain.
In the 1800s
LESS people ate very day.
LESS people owned a home
LESS people had medical care.
LESS People had clean water
LESS people had time to spend with the family.
Now, despite MORE people.
MORE people own a home
MORE people had medical care.

@@ericinla65 Doesn't it come down to how one raises their kids? Besides, there's another problem we are facing: More and more mothers are sending their kids to daycare. When children are not getting the attention they need from their parents because the parents are so busy trying to establish their careers (etc.), why would kids give their parents time and attention when parents want it at the cost of their (the childrens') careers? This whole issue comes down to our greed for more money, a bigger house, nicer cars, etc. We are overlooking the smaller yet more rewarding things that children bring into this world.
@@hashmiarqam You're right but greed IS part of the capitalist economy. People have to have more or else the whole thing collapses. Natural demand from population growth died along while ago especially over there in the West and so they had to invent a way to make people spend more.
b/c your wife is a soulness person. as are. you. bravo, sanchez.
They are worried that won`t have modern slaves in the next 50 years. People don`t make kids, because the quality of life dropped so dramatically all over the world in the past 30 years. You don`t have any guarantee for the next day, or for the job.

Isn’t Elon worried that if the population falls he’ll lose money?
That's technically correct. It's impossible to make an economy exist in a world where demographics are overwhelmingly old folks. That kind of economy is impossible to support because the people who need the investments for their future are the young, yet we're going to be worrying about pensioners.
Everyone looses money and is fucked In that society except Facebook. Only Facebook which is a social media network (little stores and few coders) and has a huge old people population would thrive in that world
how many jobs has the Biden family created? Not counting blow jobs (Hunter)
@Terrorists Win Population decline is a tangible problem right NOW. It's the actual reason our economies are collapsing; the 2020's don't have enough consumers and way too many old people.
@@Ryanowning
Worldwide ages:
population seems to have exploded at the exact cross between when people needed a large family due to high death rate and more hands needed to keep up the family work and the point where medicine was getting good enough to keep far more of them alive. Now people have kids because they want them far more than because they absolutely need them.
strange how socialist will pay (my tax money) the lazy to NOT work, then I have to fund them when they are old? I know who the sucker is in this equation....the "free" sheeople in socialist Amerika
I think the increasing costs of living and stagnate wages has more to do with low birth rates than anything else. Let's not forget that just to give birth can cost well over $8,000 in the US. And a C-section is easily double that. If a significant amount Americans can't afford an unexpected medical bill of even $2,000, why would they have kids that they can't afford to raise?
Canadian births are 100% covered and in 2019 Canada's birthrate was 1.47 births/ woman. America's was 1.70 births/woman. Cost is definitely a factor but it can't be all of it, otherwise Canada should be popping out kids left and right.
Exactly. Kids are expensive and not everyone has the money to support a child or many kids.
It cost less than $300 in Africa
How would it have to do with low birth rates? Low birth rates are the effect, not the cause, the cause is INSANE taxation rates and government growing out of any reasonable proportion both in size and power. Without government taxes and ownership bof land, how much do you think it costs to buy some land and build a HOUSE (NOT just a shitty apartment)? Pennies. How about healthcare, without the government being involved in limiting the supply of doctors, hospitals and medical equipment, and without supporting corporations and their shady deals that drive the price of every little piece of medical scrap so high it might as well be made out of gold, or at least silver? How about the government owned education and higher education, state owned science? The cause of all the problems is that people, at least in the US, forgot that the best times in history had the smallest government with the least regulation. And don't start with the evil corporations with low wages and dangerous working conditions, that's something that still present, even more so in some places thanks to government supporting their children (and corporations ARE a product of the government, recent one too), but the battle for work safety and appropriate labor safety was won by unions of people in the past, NOT the government, and you don't need government overregulation to uphold it, heck, as I said, government is often actually ensuring WORSE labor conditions by now, and also takes about 50% off of the average income American, if not more (in TOTAL , not just income tax, because btoo many people seem stupidly unaware if other taxes)

Easiest way you can measure the data for life expectany in a lot of countries, decrease in Povety, Increase in literacy, access to basic goods is Improving in a lot of countries, if not most, so when the original poster mentioned the majority 99% it was factually incorrect,
@@ryansuryatmojo8628 So in other words, your going by speculation and making up your own facts because you have no definitive proof to back up your claim.... Got it
Humans should by now understand that happiness is relative but the overall problem is that people are never satisfied and we are more disconnected from mother nature than ever. Greed.
The population will continue to drop as long as the cost of living continues to increase. Who can afford a family. Making things harder for people to live and have any fun doesn’t make people want to get more in debt with a family. Higher taxes, higher health care, higher education, higher fuel/energy costs, higher rent, higher food prices, who wants or can afford to bring more people into that mess!?
And the government WILL continue growing, so yeah the costs of living will continue to climb as the standards plummet. But hey, everyone's BEGGING for more government, so they only have themselves to blame
Cost of living is going to continue to increase as more people are staying single. The fact that people have it easy and can have too much fun is why there are less kids.
@@colbalt95 What do you mean? We have no choice, the massive cultural changes has made dating and keeping a relationship difficult.
Provide maternal and paternal leave, infant and young child care, healthcare, and governments that give a shit about our environment and I'll think about having more than one kid. It really is that simple.
This "population collapse" is the best news in my lifetime. The collapse of "civilizations" due to reducing population is only a concern if you feel that modern citified "civilization" made up of hordes of people is a positive thing. I do not........ I see the relentless destruction of the places I have loved. I see relentless endless growth that endangers human survival rather than enhancing it. I see a population that has a choice to either reduce our numbers by choice, or nature will do it for us........... and it will be neither pretty nor pleasant. Ehrlich was right, but his time frame was wrong. Technology has put this off.........but nature has always ultimately been in control, and ultimately will resolve this as it always does with animals that reproduce out of control. I've lived in remote rural areas all my adult life....... and I'm no longer young ;-) ......... I have seen population explosion and collapse of various species repeatedly. We are NOT immune, nor are we masters of the universe.
Nailed it. Our population eexpanded and now it's reached a point where it has to shrink. fortunately, many people have the ability to moderate this so instead of running out of resources and starving, they just have a slight temporary excess of elderly and a gradual decline in population to a level that can be sustained.
you got that right
Couldn't agree more
Correct!
@@deltab9768 CONTROLLED, YOU MEAN.
I understand Elon Musk's concern. But he should also understand that majority of us can't afford to have many kids the way he can. Also with automation, not many jobs will be there for a growing population in future. It's for the good for humanity and this planet that human population goes down. Economic growth definition has to change.
Musk is a proponent of systems such as Basic Income. Basic Income is actually the prime reason he's trying to develop robotics as quickly as possible: in order to force governments into it.
My stock account is prepared for that.
You think its good for humanity that the population goes down? Where tf did you come to that conclusion? The whole video is litterally about the consequences of population decline.
Go invent something that benefits humankind and will make you a billionaire. If he did it then so can you.
@@baysidebitches he was born rich. Lol. Here comes the elon musky fanboy
Ancient Rome had less than 500,000 and was the most advanced civilization
Thinking a decrease in population is bad is moronic
If Elon has his way, I bet every place on the planet will look like New York City. Everyone driving Tesla and panicking. And no one is mentioning global warming, the 1-2 billion people it will displace, amount of land that will become inhabitable and the land that will go under the sea. It's a tiny planet, our Earth. It can only sustain so much for so long. I can keep going...
Your theory would probably stand if the population decrease was equal among all ages, but the decline is happening on one end, the reproduction end... so if your country could achieve a population of 500000 and 80% of them were over 60 years old the chances of being "advanced" like the Romans were (who's population was younger not older) is pretty slim.
Well the population has to collapse. There ae too many people in the world. It would have been better if there was no population boom in the 50s.
The problem isn't the pregnancies, the problem is the expense and the time required after the child is born. No child care, no help from Republicans for born children. Women know this and they don't want to play anymore. And most men don't really want kids anyway. Give them a choice of another baby or getting a new Corvette, the majority of men will go for the car. Totally understandable.
So true. I've always went for cars but never kids.

more people, more virus transmission. I can go on and on about why more people is stupid
What lmao 🤣 dude why are there so many nazis like u
Viruses always existed and always will. What you seem to suggest is surrender. Lmao
You definitely have a point
The only thing that concerns me is that lesser younger population will lead to fall in innovation. And when that happens we r gonna stuck like Japan which used to dream of robots completely replacing manual jobs during 80s. LOL came the 90s. Now Japan no more the sci-fi country.
yeah and now japan is struggling with population, and working too much leads to high sui###e rates:( very sad to see
Every robot you build is a child not born anyway. Replace human workers with machines and they won't be able to have kids since purposeless men all with equal wealth from state handouts will have a hard time attracting mates since they can't signal status to women. Japan is already experiencing this with its grass eating men as is the rest of the developed world to some extent
Right when we need more jobs, we sure don't need robots.
An Intelligent man but one that sees a world through dreams build upon a background that unsettles me. Beware anyone who has an opinion on everything.

Elon Musk has a vested interest in population exploding, so he can “solve” the problem and earn rewards from it.
Our (civilization) problem is (lack of) satisfaction. We continuously want more, newer, better and faster…
that's not the problem at all. the problem is space is a very limited resource where jobs are. you can't have corporate buildings throughout the fly over states in remote areas--the commute would be too long for too many people. in many metro areas, there's no more land to build housing. San Francisco created something like 650,000 jobs in the past few years and only 150,000 new housing units, for example. and we can't just build skyscrapers like Hong Kong and New York. we have this problem with marshlands and earthquakes.
As discussed in this video: the problem isn't JUST economic. Countries have tried giving out massive sums of money for people to have kids, it didn't work. People need to change their culture in order for us to have enough people.
please don't speak for others, that you don't know. GOD hates prideful people
Exactly, the elites need population to sell products too, so they can stay on top and wealthy..let it collapse.

Too expensive to have kids at least in the USA. Costs around $250K to raise one child. People now just don't want things to encroach their freedoms and bank accounts.
$300k now and rising. No one should be shocked that birth rates are dropping. I myself decided I won’t be having kids nearly a decade ago, and I stand by that.
Series of warnings from the big guns and it's getting scarier. The S&P500 is down -13% & Nasdaq is down -19% in January alone, how much worse can that get. But it's sad whenever something big goes wrong, a lot of people panic and hold on to money that should be working for them.

Yes so therefore we need a system that doesn’t require infinite growth.
You got that right!
Exactly. Infinite growth is unsustainable and unrealistic because our planet has finite resources.
the fact that technology is/will keep replacing jobs, the need for 'workers' will diminish, and guaranteed universal income will not be enough to support overproducing industries; increasing the population does not seem to be prudent.

The overpopulation is a half lie. For the last two decades the population in DEVELOPED countries has been on the decline, two decades before that it has been largely stagnant. Where the myth of overpopulation originated from is the third world where the leaders of said developed world have been throwing all of their country's money into, and while it might seem nice on paper, because it 'helps people in need', in reality it barely helped anyone and factually just created BILLIONS of needy people that only depend on said money to survive. What happens when they multiply further and yet the money going there dwindles, or worse, disappears completely due to an economic crisis and/or the shrinking developed world population? So yeah, he's right, there's not enough people... In the developed world. And way too much in the developing, who's lives are sustained only with external money.
They're too scared to say that white populations are the ones declining.
@@queengoblin idk if they are, remember that clown news piece about "US population on the decline, and THAT'S A GOOD THING"? Or something along those lines

Humans doubling in growth would be insane. Everything would need to be redesigned for 12 foot tall 400 pound humans.
Population is one of the biggest problems this planet is facing and by the way; countries are worried about population decline because of economy and competition with other nations not because they actually need people. We must take steps to control population.
Over population is like cancer, spreading slowly and will become fatal at stage when it’s already late…
Humanity is the invasive species!
I don't think less people in the future is a problem. We had 2.9 billion in 1958 when I was born. The world turned then just it does now.
Humans are very adaptable. We will adapt again to having less people.
Elon needs more workers to make more money. Labor is a key component to a successful business. Government needs more bodies to increase the military and prison industrial complex. More people to control means more power. The people can take away that power by choosing not to give it to them through non-violent means such as not spending money on new consumer goods and earning less to not have to pay more taxes. However, not having children is the greatest non-violent act that you can do to deprive the powerful of their power. Yes, you are more powerful when you are child-free.
Thank you !
Said it well!
I disagree with musk on this one. I believe the quantity of the population as opposed to the quality is a big problem
When quantity direct effects quality, you can't ignore it. There are going to be more senior citizens than active people in the workforce eventually. How do you expect to maintain a society like that?

Massive false economy presented here. Our biggest economic expense is having and raising children. Young people are the big consumers of the planet.
More and more tasks including in medicine are being mechanized, so our real need for a workforce is greatly diminished every year.
The problem with care for the elderly is partly because people are living longer and partly because our society has given up on caring for their own parents.
Many of the diseases that disable the elderly are due to poor diet and nutrition as well as poor exercise habits.
I certainly don’t see a problem with militaries getting smaller.
Adolf Hitler 1930's.... euthanasia, killing the elderly & sick. Having the military get German women pregnant. And of course.... GUN CONTROL (Amerika today)
My greatest fear: Population explosion in Africa...and then these people are coming to Europe and America...
I personally think raising children should be a specialized field - as in you must study, write an exam to get a license if you want a kid at home as people are familiar with. Also i dont think all people should be allowed to have children - if they have inheritable diseases or simply dont have finances to ensure the child does not end up in a poverty cycle. It sounds different to what we have today, but what we have today is madness. People in poverty keep having 7+ children while tax payers have to support them and are their victims of violence and hate... stop having children if you dont have money!
so you support eugenics.... nice
How about EDUCATING everyone and not to snatch their basic human rights?
I partially agree
How out of touch
Partially agree except about heritable diseases that I def do not agree with bc who gets to decide who's worth keeping?
Why are they saying need more people and not saying we need more education, technology and automatization processes?
It’s natural for a species to peak once it’s habitat reaches its limit. If Musk truly dreams of an interplanetary civilization, he would know that the population won’t explode unless we take better care of Earths resources or find a second planet.
Not enough people?? Yet he always talks about global warming take my commute from work and tell me your want more people on earth
That's why he is trying to push forward the technologies that solve those sorts of problems. It's not that there's not enough people in general, it's that there's less and less young people... a sub-replacement birth rate in the modern world.
Good for the environment
There are *SO* many factors involved. The burden of having a child far outweighs the benefits (unless you're rich). Women have become EXTREMELY angry and volatile about sex in general. People work harder and harder, and there is nearly no time for family, let alone friendships and 'leisure'. Both men and women make horrible, uneducated parents by default (unless they 'magically' learn the skills somewhere--which is unlikely). Social media destroys more lives than it builds (by far). Schools and education are in shambles, especially now that technology GREATLY exceeds 'what can be taught' in 6-12 years. More needs to be taught, but children's brains are on overload in 2022 (thanks to the pandemic + social media + technology + lousy parents).
Personally, the VERY LAST thing I want is another girlfriend or wife, and definitely not another child. I never thought I'd make a good father, and I was ABSOLUTELY RIGHT: I'm not. Sure, I'm intelligent, fun, loving, compassionate, caring, and I educate the hell out of my daughter, but... we ALL KNOW THAT DOESN'T MATTER! LOLOL
Coin. Connections. Computer code. Communities. I don't have these things, and so... my teachings are less than worthless. 🦾

One reason I never had a family is that family courts hate fathers. Its been that way since the 1970s and maybe earlier. The judges are the worst homewreckers around. I'm now 65 and I'll never marry ever. I can picture if I do and at age 80 she wants my house and the judge throws me out on the street. I have no doubt it happens all the time.
But I don't think depopulation is an issue...i mean were still growing at a fast pace. I think he just wants more people so that in the end people have no choice but to crumble and be subjects to their experiments. Remeber guys quality over quantity
The only continent growing at a fast pace is Africa. Russia, East Asia, Europe, and Nort America all have a replacement level below 2.1
Anyone with a decent understanding of how humans treat others would keep away from having babies!
We have likely already vastly outstripped are carrying capacity, and are living well above our means. If we declined in population, especially in rich countries which consume the most, that would overwhelmingly be a good thing. We very likely cannot live at this scale forever. You can’t turn the entire surface of the earth into cities and farms forever
yes, we can, and we do.
That would be true if we were technologically stagnant as a civilisation. And the resources in space are almost limitless compared to Earth's. So there's that too
@@marcozolo3536 you cannot have an infinitely expanding population. If your solution is just to colonize planets when we get over populated, all that does is kick the can down the road. It is also unsustainable
You’ve also made the giant error of just assuming that we can just colonize planets and then that can take the overflow of people who have exceeded the carrying capacity. That is a belief that comes from science fiction and not science
@@marcozolo3536 keep in mind that someday we will be a technologically stagnant civilization. There’s very rarely exponential growth in the nature. Most of the time it’s just an S-curve that has an exponential phase, but eventually it levels out. There will be a time when we have reached the limit of technological sophistication, and we have no idea when that will be, or what that will look like. There’s no reason that it Hass to look like Star Wars
@@zachroush3816 There is no error here. You assumed there is an upper limit to carrying capacity of the universe, maybe for a star system and maybe even for the galaxy.
But the orders of magnitude we are talking about are so ridiculously out there that it will take trillions or quadrillions of humans to outstrip the resources of our own solar system and then times that all over again by however many stars there are in our own galaxy which is in the hundreds of billions. Upwards of 200 to 400 billion on last count.
And that's just one galaxy. Some galaxies are much bigger than ours, some smaller too. But there are more galaxies out there in the universe than even stars in our own galaxy.
And one day maybe millions of years from now, they may find how to cross the horizon to parallel universes or more. Bottom line is that our ingenuity and technological progress drives those possibilities forward. And technological stagnation might not ever happen, again another assumption you made by assuming we run out of resources.
Musk is woried that he and all those big business owners won't be able to treat people like slaves. 20, even 10 years ago a lot of companies didn't hired people over 40 and had the mentalaty :"If you don't like it, quit. There are a lot of people waiting to take your place." Under such conditions what normal person would be willing to have more than one child? It is difficult to manage things without a job for a single person, but for someone with more than one small child. There would be women willing to have more children , but they have to work. Let's be honest: there are a lot of women that hate their jobs ,but need the money;raising children is a time consuming thing; most women that had a lot of children didn't have a job, their husband had a decent paying job.
First, I am a huge Elon admirer. But I think he's got this one wrong.
1. There are too many people now. The planet is crowded with people, we've taken too much habitat from other animals and plants. IMO our quality of life would be improved were there fewer of us. Half as many or a third as many.
2. We need to do some research and find out how many women would love to have a child or children if they weren't encumbered by work requirements and economic difficulties. I don't think there would be a problem maintaining a total fertility rate of 2.1, the replacement rate, if women had time and money. Or if the men who want to raise children had the time and money. It ain't about gender.
3. Elon is busy dis-inventing labor. Autonomous cars are going to put millions of drivers out of work. Humanoid robots, Tesla's latest project, should eventually put us all out of work. A machine that can be built for no more than $10k and work 24/365 for at least ten years will simply replace humans. Period.
OK, we need a solution for this new reality. A universal basic income seems to be the best solution we have right now. Perhaps we'll come up with something better. But let's assume we have our daily needs provided by the robot fleet. Now people are freed up to be parents, if that's what they want.
I do not see the population crashing. Bring on the bots, Elon.
The problem starts with our desire for more money and wealth (greed). Why do women have to work? Most people are doing it to fulfill their own desires and, as a result, we are seeing the long-term effects.
@@hashmiarqam
"Why do women have to work?"
That's somewhat the wrong question.
Women want to work, many of them. And now due to improved technology they can hold jobs and run households. Women are people, too. They have a desire to achieve just like men.
Some have to work because the guy they hooked up with doesn't support them. And his children. At a level where the woman can stay home and raise a family.
@@bobwallace9753 Your point in the second paragraph makes sense. But that’s an absolute need and necessity.
However, for the point that women have the desire to achieve just like men, I feel society has changed our perceptions. Women wanting to fill in men’s roles at the workplace is similar to men wanting to tend to their children and stay at home, because they are people too and also have a genuine love for their kids. But it’s not supposed to work like that. Everyone has their roles. As long as we are giving our 100% in those respective roles, society is going to function smoothly.
As for the technological advancements that now allow many to work from home, it’s definitely an option, but as long as the idea of raising good, obedient children is given the priority.
@@hashmiarqam
"It's not supposed to work like that" is simply a statement of "That's how it used to work". Things change. It no longer takes hours per week to beat the family's clothes on a rock to get them clean. Even a child can toss the dirty clothes in a washing machine and turn it on. Meals are cooked in minutes, not hours or phoned for. Someone (men) doesn't need to go down to feed and water the animals and muck out the stable. We get in the car and we (most of us) will soon be punching a spot on our phone screen to summon a robotaxi. Technology means that it is no longer necessary to have two adults to run a home or even to raise good kids.
And we've never given ourselves 100% to the traditional men/women roles. There have always been women who work.
I don't know if you realize what you are saying but it sounds to me as if what you are envisioning is a world in which men are the lords and masters simply because of the type of junk they have between their legs. It's old think. It's dying out. We are all becoming equal.
I would say that our goal should be to allow everyone to pursue their goals and let them try to achieve their personal happiness. If raising children for part of their life would help make them happy then society needs some people like that. To maintain a stable population women need to bear, on average and not individually, about two children in their lifetime.
I think children should be raised to demonstrate common sense, to appreciate knowledge, and to respect the rights of others. Simple obedience does not lead to creating good adults.
UBI ? Borrow another $30 Trillion?
If the G-Dless people decide not to have children, good. Less children being brought up G-D-less. Criminal leaders of countries are to blame for a vountry's financial and moral downfall. Human power corrupts.
Funny, that you think people can't be moral without a sky daddy watching over them - says a lot.
Elon Musk talks more sense than Bill Gates.
Never give someone a weapon that can be used against you in family court. Paying someone else's bills for 18 years with child support, no thank you.
Wow another billionaire CEO complaining the planet is massively underpopulated, what a cliche !
There might be some problems along the way. I just want quality over quantity.
Pure lunatic.destroying earth and wants to have a colony in mars.
The easiest way to increase the population in democracies while reducing the population in autocracies would be to incentivize migration into democracies. What people tend to see as an argument against an UBI, could actually be an argument for it.
democracy=MOB RULE and when IT runs it's course, the socialism will bring the mass murder. I can already hear the beating of the war drums. Can you?
"There are fields Neo....where humans are no longer born, they are grown."
The population might have dropped but the consumption has only gone up. We need less people and less consumption.
Yeah, I can understand no population means no consumer and no cheap labour and employees. Already overpopulation cause suffering like unemployment etc. Quality of life matters more than quantity, in the worst case if humans reach the verge of extinction, it is still better than human suffering .
The vast majority of the existence of our species the living standards have been higher than even the poorest person in a modern country. It's absurd that you think in an era where we have the highest standard of living EVER, that it would be better to have less people? wtf? Life is worth living even if you encounter suffering, the world never has and never will be rainbows and unicorns, but human life is worth perpetuating
and if we came to the point... Then start having 6 kids again..
Your country will be taken over by a foreign culture such as Islam.
@@terrorist_nousagi8747 I've seen the word overpopulation used as a mystical hard limit before. It was first called Malthusianism, and justified the lack of support the British gave in the Irish famine, and later the Indian famine. It also drove the eugenics programs of the past and further the german idea of Lebensraum. It followed that if there's a hard limit on the number of people you would want your family and further, your nation to benefit over others. "The Population Bomb" from the 1960's evolved that idea further and caused the UN Population Fund. They still work in poor communities today, sterilising women. There has never been and will never be a cap on the number of people that can exist, human ingenuity has always allowed there to be more people with a higher standard of living. The idea that "human misery can end with the limiting of humanity" is bizarre and frankly disgusting. More human minds attempting to understand the world and create solutions to problems will always result in a better standard of living than less people struggling to keep up with the increasing workload in a declining population. It's tantamount to saying that we should cut out half your brain so that you need less food for your highest calorie requiring organ, it totally ignores your capabilities with that higher resource intake.
@@adamfleck956 People would be totally unwilling to have more kids if needed. Today the creation of human life is treated as a burden better left to others so that you can enjoy a higher standard of living

You left out the collapse of our social security systems due to increased use by the elderly and less young tax payers.
